I am in need of a new laptop, and I am a cheap sunufabeech. I have two refurbished laptops to choose from, and the selling point to me, is the processors.
There is an HP for a total(tax included) of $300, with an AMD A6-5200M APU(Quad running at 2GHz, no turbo), and an Acer for a total(tax, is yet again included) or $325 with an AMD A6-5357M(Dual running at 2.9GHz-3.5GHz). I am *hoping* to get some low end gaming capable processors here. I know that a quad core is capable of running more processes at once, but I would like to know which is better for gaming.

The reason I wanted an A6 instead of say... an i3, was because I've watched my friend play Crysis 2 and get 30FPS on his A6 powered laptop. I am trying to replace an Acer of mine that had an i3 that dies recently, and I thought it would be a pleasant upgrade.
 


A6 is various and has lots of models.

Both are the integrated iGPU in the APU.
 


Yours maybe will get 3-5 More FPS so go with the acer and expect playable performance at 720p low settings.

Alright. Thanks for your input everyone. Sadly, because I waited three hours to make a decision, the Acer is gone. This is why I hate being a cheap-ass sunufabeech.
