I'm buying a new laptop soon and my budget is $400-$450
Im going to use it mostly for gaming (not those graphics devouring games but games like minecraft, league of legends etc) ,web surfing and school work.
Ive been looking on some websites and Ive narrowed my choices down to 3 laptops
two are $450 and one is $500 and i dont know if i can bump my budget up to 500 so im not sure about that yet
i want to know which laptop would be better then the others for my uses mainly because one is amd and two are intel i5
i heard that intel i5 is better and it has 2.5 GHz and up plus turbo up to 3.1 GHz but AMD Quad is better for gaming even tho it has 1.5 GHz with turbo boost of 2.4 GHz and it has 8GB RAM where the i5 laptops have 4GB
so if someone could help me decide which one to buy for my intended uses (MAINLY GAMING - YES I REALIZE THESE LAPTOPS ARENT MEANT FOR GAMING BUT I HAVE A BUDGET AND THESE ARE THE BEST I CAN FIND) and give reasons why i would greatly appreciate =)

You do understand NONE of those are proper for gaming, suitable? the 1st 2 in basic terms have Intel HD photographs, it is an integrated card (which means it sucks plenty), and maximum integrated enjoying cards do not help present day video games (BF3, Crysis 2, MW3, etc). some video games won't run nicely, others won't even initiate via fact this is going to inform you your photographs are too vulnerable. And the third one's image card is great old, so it is likewise not a gaming computer. i desire you recognize that for gaming LAPTOPS, you will desire to spend upwards of $1200 for "hardcore" gaming specs. and don't anticipate optimal photographs until you've adequate funds a computer with twin photographs enjoying cards AND a three.0Ghz+ quadcore processor.
