So I'm currently looking at getting a new laptop, mostly it'll be used for uni work so Word, Excel, Powerpoint, ChemDraw, EndNote etc then normal things listening to music, streaming/downloading TV and films and some minor photo editing.
Also a bit of gaming, mostly The Sims 3. I'm looking at two laptops

They both have 6Gb RAM and 750Gb HD the only differece is the processor, and the price.
One has the Intel Core i5 2450M and is £100 more than the other which has AMD Vision Quad-Core A6-3420M.
I was wondering if it's worth stretching my budget and spending the extra money for the i5 or will the AMD do the job for what I need?
Thanks.
