Two options... only one can win

[dudka]

I'm looking for surfing and installing Steam for a few crappy games. I need the 4GB for Pillars of Eternity (at least at launch).

AMD A8-6410 Processor
4 GB DDR3L SDRAM
500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
13.3-Inch Screen, AMD Radeon R5 graphics
Windows 8.1

or

Intel i3-4020Y 1.5 GHz
4 GB DDR3L SDRAM
128 GB Solid-State Drive
13.3-Inch Screen, Intel HD graphics 4400

Thank you T-Hardware!

Mod, calm down, right now I'm just being curious, not instigating.

Trust me...I am fully calm...

They are about $30 difference on Amazon. I thought both would be able to play Pillars of Eternity. It didn't look like huge specs besides the damn RAM. Figured I wouldn't have to sit at a desktop for this.

Looks like they updated the requirements on Steam because they no longer match game debate. Steam had an i3 and game debate has a Pentium with 512mb graphics. That's what Steam originally had. I might have to wait and see.

If you don't mind spending the extra cash there's an Acer selling new on Newegg for $580.
I know it's pushing the budget a little, but you get a full 1 TB HDD, 8GB RAM, i5 4210U CPU, and 840m GPU.

Thanks for the post. I was hoping to keep it 13.3 or smaller. But you're right... There are a lot more options at 15.6
