Amd processors compared to intel i5

So what is the dilemma ?

Yup -- hard to tell your question. Do you have a price range or other criteria? The new stuff pushes the old stuff around in every metric these days.

Here is the HP ENVY 6z-1000 for $600 (17w A6-4455M Trinity). The A10-4655M Trinity will cost you another $100.

Toss in a OCZ Agility 3 90GB SSD for $65 and you're cooking in a really good way.
