Hello all, I am currently deciding on which laptop I should buy. I can't decide between two HP touch screen laptops: the hp-15f010dx with 4GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, and a 1.7 GHz Intel Core i3 processor. The other is an hp 15-f111dx with 8GB of RAM, 750GB hard drive, and a 2.0 GHz AMD-A8 processor with turbo core up to 2.4 GHz.

They are priced at $379 and $399, respectively. Should I buy the more popular and faster Intel Core or go with AMD that has more RAM and hard drive space for only $20 more?

It wouldn't be "too much", but as I stated earlier I got a similar performing laptop for only $300.
They will most likely go back on sale during the holidays.

What will you be using it for...?

Of course it's no longer on sale, but I got an intel i3 1.9ghz with 500GB and 4GB RAM for $300.
The 8GB RAM AMD version will only be necessary if you plan on doing editing on it or something.

Either one of those laptops will be well suited to that task and budget.
But, I severely encourage you to wait for the holiday sales. $400 is the high end of that performance level.

So you're saying that $400 would be too much to pay for a touchscreen laptop that has 8GB of RAM and 750GB of hard drive space? I haven't really seen any other laptops for that cheap with those specs...
