Thread Starter 

Hey guys, looking to buy a new laptop. I live in Canada.

So my dilemma is deciding between:


So clearly the main problem here is the choice between AMD and Intel. What is my best course of action here? I will using this laptop for mainly school purposes and student activities, such as typing, some Photoshop and video editing, web browsing, etc.

I consider gaming a luxury as I have a personally-built $800 machine at home, but I want this laptop for the next ~3 years so gaming isn't totally out of the picture, especially when since I might take it overseas with me.

So point is, what is the better deal here in terms of the processor for my uses, seeing as the price is all the same? If it's the AMD route, the HP and Acer have the same specs (Acer has 6GB RAM though). Which one is the better one in terms of battery life, build quality, and overall reliability?

I like the Radeon HD 6520g card the most, along with the most RAM in your case. I'd go with the Acer, but it's not going to last you three years in terms of processing power. That's not to say they won't be functional for 3 years, but they won't play games released in 3 years.
