Which laptop to get

[chaos50006]

Ok first of all i am planning on using this laptop pretty heavily as I Photoshop, game and occasionally render video though i will be mostly using my desktop to do that.
The choices are between - I7 2670QM, GT630M 1GB Graphics, 6GB RAM £550

Or

AMD A6-3420M, 4GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 7670M 1GB £319

I would prefer to pay less but if the I7 is a major improvement then i will probably get that.

What to do?

Sorry to disappoint but the i7 is a major improvement. I have that CPU in my Lenovo Y570 and it's quite good. It will be much better for rendering.

Now for the downside of the i7, it is worse at gaming (but only silghtly).

7670m- http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7670M.69483.0.html

But the processor difference is quite big.
A6-3420M- http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A6-3420M-Notebook-Processor.61302.0.html
i7 2670QM- http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i7-2670QM-Notebook-Processor.60135.0.html

So I'd still go for the Intel i7 laptop.

even despite the price difference?

Yep. It is just much better in terms of CPU and not much worse in terms of the gaming.
It'll help doing the rendering in about half the time.

Ok, thanks for the help. I think i will buy the I7 one tomorrow.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.
