I'm looking to get a new laptop which I will mostly be using for work but also some casual gaming.
I've come across 2 laptops that I really like and both are the same brand and have identical builds except for the CPU and GPU. They are also priced the same.

#1
CPU: 4th Generation Intel Core i5-4200M Processor
GPU: Intel HD 4600

#2
CPU: AMD A10-5750M
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8650G

Looking for opinions on which would be the better combination. Thanks.
 
The Intel is the outright stronger CPU, but that AMD APU has the stronger integrated graphics.

I would lean toward the APU if the most intensive stuff you will do on this machine is word processing/spreadsheets and browsing the internet. You dont need much CPU grunt for that, while gaming will be better on the APU.
