Hello everyone,
I have £400 to spend on a laptop. I've already decided to get a Lenovo ideapad with 17.3 inch screen. But I'm not sure which to get.
http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/8628697.htmThis one has Intel i3 dual core 2.2Ghz processor, 4GB DDR4 ram and Intel HD 620 graphics card, and costs £380 (after being reduced by £50).
http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/8656580.htmThis one has AMD A6 dual core 2.6Ghz processor, 8GB of DDR4 ram and ATI Radeon R4 graphics card, and costs £350, after being reduced by £30.
Both laptops have the same screens, speakers, hard drives, etc. I will be dual booting windows 10 and arch linux. I will be using it for mostly normal stuff, writing assignments/programs, watching films, internet surfing, etc, and also maybe, if I have enough power, gaming with steam (star trek online looks really good!).
So, which do you think would be better? On the one hand, I could assume that the Intel laptop would be better as it's original asking price was £50 more, but the AMD has more processor power and more ram. I'd love to hear your opinions, thanks!
