I'm looking to buy a new laptop for around $300 and I know some people will say you can only get crappy laptops at that price, but I've got a 10 year old laptop right now so anything new will be a significant upgrade.
I'm just looking for something decent that will mostly be used to browse the web and it would be nice if it could handle playing basic games like Hearthstone and Mechwarrior Tactics. I don't care about battery life, or display size. Just looking for a good price per performance laptop.
I haven't really been following the latest laptop tech, so I'm kind of out the the loop and hoping that you guys can enlighten me.
I went to Walmart and they have an AMD E1 laptop for $300 and an AMD E2 laptop for $330 both with 4GB of RAM. That's all that was listed, there was no model or clockrate. Is the E2 much better than an E1?
I know those laptops are probably really bad, those have to be at least 3 generations old, right? But that is my starting baseline. In the back of my head I keep thinking I should just buy the cheapest AMD A8/A10 I can find and call it good, but maybe there is a better deal.
Am I right in thinking that all A10s are better than all A8s and > A6s > A4s > E-series?
As for Intel systems I have heard that the HD 4000 gpu is actually pretty decent, but I can't figure out where that would compare to AMD hardware.
