Help with choosing laptop, processor

[CaliEli]

Hello,
I've been hunting for the right laptop for a while now. My Dell E1705 lasted me 5.5 years and I'm hoping this one will too!

I'd like a laptop where I can multitask - bunch of windows and apps open - and have it be capable of playing games such as WoW, Diablo, etc.

The two I've narrowed it down to are both $799 and 17.3" with bluray.

HP DV7: AMD Quad Core A6-3400M W/ Radeon HD 6520 graphics, 4MB L2 cache, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD.


Lenovo G770: Intel i5-2410M w/ Radeon HD 6650M graphics (I think it's switchable), 3MB L3 cache, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD.

Which processor is better and which laptop would suit my needs best?

Would an i5-2430M with Intel HD 3000 graphics do just fine? (Lenovo's website lists Intel HD HM65 graphics, is this the same?)

Thank you so much! Any suggestions would be great too

6650 is better than IntelHD 3000

Thanks guys! i5 is better, but do you think the AMD processor still has more power than I need? Also, will the Intel HD 3000 graphics suffice for my needs or is it worth the extra $100 to get the Radeon 6650M?

yes hd 3000 is good
