The AMD isn't as powerful as the i5 in terms of general computing and multitasking, but from what you say, the AMD computer has a discrete GPU, which is going to run significantly faster than Intel's integrated graphics solution. Basically, it's a trade-off between graphics and general computing. Also, the Intel machine's OS is labelled as DOS. If that's not a mislabel, then you'd have to shell out $80 for an OS like Windows; probably best to check that out with the manufacturer/retailer.
