Hello,
Do lots of mixing music and making/editing videos.
Can't spend much.
Comparing:

Memory: 6GB DDR3 SDRAM, upgradable to 8

$649.99

ASUS X53E-RH52
Processor: AMD VISION A8 APU (4MB on die Level 2, 1.5GHz (with Turbo CORE up to 2.4GHz))
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6620G discrete-class
Up to 4085MB total available
Memory: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM, upgradable to 16

Graphics and processor are confusing as to which one. I read I should go with i5 but I should have discreet graphics!!! Need to have a lap over PC.

Thoughts?
