Laptop help! Which is better?

[zcournyea]

I'm between two models

The 15-f010dx and the 15-f111d.

I need one of these for school just don't know which one to get

I only want to browse the web, write docs, watch YouTube, stream Netflix, and play minecraft.


Thank you, happy holidays.

So one has i3 with integrated graphics HD4400 and the other has the A8 with integrated HD6210 graphics.

The i3 is a slighly better CPU and the A8 has slightly better graphics. They are both the same value. Maybe different ram or HDD or screen. Minor.
