The i3 is superior in most everything except gaming performance where the 6480G has a bit of an edge over the HD3000. If you wanted to be more specific in the uses of the laptop we could give you a more specific answer.
Thanks for your quick response. I'm looking for a computer for college work. I would like to stream movies and TV on it, too. I will not be doing any gaming. Also, as far as reliability of brands, what do you think of Gateway. I've always bought HP, but found a deal with Gateway.
Thanks again!
