So I need a cheap laptop for my dad and I have 2 options n3540(pentium 4th gen) vs a6 5200 everything else is same as both laptops are made by hp and a6 5200 costs $5 more only I am a noon in Mobile computing so please help me decide which is better
The laptop will be used for
Using Ms office components (word/excel)
Watching 720p vids
Surfing
Video calls
Occasional gaming
 
Solution
The amd has better onboard graphics - apart from that nothing between them.
Id take the amd personally if you want to do any kind of gaming.


The performance is almost the same. I'd go with Intel because it has a 7,5W TDP to AMD's 25W.
