Hello , i am getting a new laptop and i am not sure what laptop to buy . I want to use the laptop for study however also for gaming e.g csgo , garry's mod. I have found two laptop's which seem good but i want to know which one has better performance overall. My budget is £420 is that good enough to play games like csgo at a good enough framerate.

the amd gives you better battery life. the intel gives you better performance under "max load"... under web browsing and stuff you wont notice the difference.
