Hi there
I am looking to buy a reasonably priced but functional laptop and the Lenovo Flex 14 looks like what I am looking for. The same model comes with the option of an AMD 6310 2GHz processor and an i3 4030U processor. Which is a better option? I will mainly use the computer for work (although I am one of these people that has a lot of tabs open simultaneously) and to watch the odd movie.
I don't no much about processors so any advice would be great!
Thanks!
 
Solution
Both CPU/APU are quite good and have similar performance, but the Intel one is slightly better. Choose the Intel one.

About having tons of tabs open, the CPU almost don't matter there, is the RAM capacity the important one. So if you're like me, have at least 8GB of RAM and get a SSD.
