Hi,
I'm planning to buy a laptop. I found some good laptops which are best suited for my needs but I got stuck with the choice of processors. There are two options one with the intel i5 4210U processor and other with APU Quad Core A10 4600M processor. A laptop with AMD processor has 4GB extra RAM and 2 extra cells of battery. Talking about graphic card a laptop with AMD processor has 1GB dedicated ( AMD Mobility Radeon HD 8670M) and a laptop with intel processor has 2GB dedicated graphic card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 820M). So which laptop should I go for i5 or A10. Obviously i5 is $25 costlier than AMD. So now question is which is good with all the extra specs. Please help me with this. Thank you.

You can not compare them. AMD and Intel work in completely different ways.

However if you consider CPU power, then the Intel wins by a small margin, but the AMD laptop has considerably better graphics potential which will help in a lot of things as well.

Either way, they are so close in CPU performance, you would never know the difference.
