Hi,
I am looking into buying a cheap laptop for my parents to take with them when they go south this winter. They just pay bills, browse websites, and stream videos. Nothing crazy so I know either will work. My question is, which setup is better overall?
I was siding with the pentium because it has more ram and is a quad core over the i3 dual core. GPU boss (which isn't always the best comparison) shows the pentium beats the i3 in every aspect which isn't surprising since it's 1.5 years newer.
1. Am I overlooking anything?
2. Is nonspecific intel HD graphics weaker than the HD 4400 graphics of the i3?
Thanks everyone!
