Which Computer Is Better?

[God]

Ok so basically I bought the 2nd computer listed and one of they key's broke off it. It was under the 30 month full return/exchange from the store so I got my mom to take it in to replace the key or to exchange it for the asame model. I come back a after school to find that shes gotten me the same computer model and that but it has a AMD A8 4500m prossecsor and a Radeon Graphics but with only `750 Gbs of memory. The other one was Intel i5-3210m peossecor and 1000gbs of memory. Im not very good with computer knowlage so could u take a look at specs and that and tell me which one is better please.

[mrwoooooooo]

Second one

Second one.

Depends on what you're looking for, if you're looking for general oomph go for the Intel model. On the other hand, the AMD one should let you run some fairly recent games on at least normal settings at 30fps+

Really depends on what you use a laptop for on a daily basis!

[God]

Its going to be used for playing habbo, facebook, email and habbox ofc. The computers are the same price

Second one is better, the first one only has marginly better graphics, the CPU of the second demolishes the second by a ton and has slightly more hard drive space to boot. There's also less bloatware on the second and a better wifi card.

The second demolishes the second?

[Lewiis,]

I think either of those laptops will handle what you want to use them for with no issues. If I was going to choose though then the second one !

[Chippiewill]

demolishes the first. Shaddup.

[Habbz]

second

[lawrawrrr]

they're not much different to be honest and both will EASILY handle what you want to do so there's barely any difference for you to worry about. I prefer AMD cores because they've always been nicer to me, so I'd go for that one but like I said they're not noticeable different unless you're going to use it for hardcore gaming in which case AMD would be better.

Don't get the AMD one.

AMD generally do make better processors than Intel, my past 2 intel drives have both failed on me as soon as I install and try to play my games. For a laptop (because of the combined harddrive/graphics card) AMD has quite a lot of advantages, and Intel HARDLY lets you upgrade anything else - I've bought a new graphics card for my AMD-based laptop but if I got the Intel one I was planning on to start with I couldn't be doing that now as there's no extra slots for that and no possibility for upgrade. I do agree that Intel IN GENERAL make better processors, but you have to pay a lot more, AMD do better low-end cores than intel do.

You're wrong. Please stop now before you embarrass yourself further.

Well I'm not because I COULDN'T upgrade my last intel drivers on my laptop but there is room for a separate dedicated graphics card with my current AMD laptop... and they're facts.

Are you serious?!

AMD haven’t been at the top of their game in the processor world for quite some time. When they first announced their bulldozer range they were supposed to compare to Intel’s sandy bridge processors but they failed at doing that. Intel processors have always been better for quite a while and you can see this by looking at benchmarks running various tests and running the latest games.

You said “Intel HARDLY lets you upgrade anything else” – What do you mean by that? I have a custom built PC with an Intel CPU and I can upgrade anything in my PC with ease. It would also be the same case if I had an AMD processor setup as well. In terms of laptops – You can’t just pull out components and start replacing them at all, the only “real” upgrade a user could technically do is the ram and the hard drive. You can’t start replacing graphics cards or anything like that – That’s possible in desktops but not laptops. You also state that you have room in your laptop for a dedicated graphics card – I doubt that very much.


AMD sell processors a lot cheaper than Intel and that is a fact. But in terms of performance, Intel CPU’s normally win. Especially when it comes down to gaming.

yes when you have a lot of money and a PC an intel processor is probably the better choice. which is what i said.

[God]

Ahh so many different answers. Internet and you guys mostly are with Intel but the futureshop dude says that this one is better. The computer look exactly the same but different specs and that. Ink tbhh. Immaculate return this one adjust wait till round summer when they do another clearout

no they're not. you're wrong.

[Teabags]

The computers are the same price
the second one is better, but it's $100 more?

[Stephen!]

First for gaming, second for everything else

[lawrawrrr]

no they're not. you're wrong.

they're not what? limited to updgrade-ability? Yes they are.

[Chippiewill]

Looking for upgradability in a laptop for something other than RAM or hard drives is a very silly idea

[mrwoooooooo]

what laptop do you have?

[lawrawrrr]

Most of the time it's limited graphics capability people want to upgrade in a laptop, because you can't custom build them.


what laptop do you have?

HP Pavilion dv6 currently. My old intel one was a Dell something or other and was just terrible.

Any upgradable notebook would be a rip off since they'd end up spending development money on adding that capability to the motherboard and any graphics card you can put in will be way overpriced anyway.

Also Intel / AMD isn't going to make any determination on graphics upgradability, that's firmly in the realms of the notebook's manufacturer.

Well it's not because low-end Intel drives and low-end AMD drives are completely different, and for the most part (as far as I'm aware, anyway), the Intel drives have rubbish, built-in graphics cards and no slots for a dedicated one, whereas the low end AMD drives usually have better drives or available slots.

[Chippiewill]

Intel integrated graphics are not terrible for the low end.

not like i needed to know this to tell you, but you can't upgrade the graphics on it.

and most people who buy laptops dont buy them for their graphics power

intel dont usually make the motherboards, but you can also get laptops with an intel cpu and an nvidia gpu.

seriously please stop pretending you know about this -.-

I was originally told i could update it because it's a dedicated card; not that i'm saying you're wrong because after a quick search you're probably right. In any case (I'm backtracking, so what?) the Radeon graphics are wwwwwiiiiideeelllyyyyyy regarded as better.

I don't pretend I know everything about 'this stuff' but I'm not exactly ******ed. Like you said people who buy laptops don't USUALLY buy them for graphics power, just like the O/P and that's really the only difference between the two laptops.

[mrwoooooooo]

better value for money sure, not better

[lawrawrrr]

better value for money sure, not better

i was under the impression we were talking about low-end laptops which pretty much by definition have low-end components

[Chippiewill]

Dedicated card != up-datable. It just means it's not integrated onto the motherboard.
