Which of these laptops would be the best choice?

I am going to buy one of these two laptops:

1.Turbo-X Blade GS i3n40-450 2VR Laptop, which has an Intel® Core i3 4000M, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 840M 2GB and SATA 500 GB 5400 rpm.

2.HP 15-af001nv Laptop, which has an AMD A8-7410 APU, 8 GB DDR3L-1600 SDRAM, AMD Radeon R5 M330 2 GB DDR3 and 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA SSHD.

I was going to buy the Turbo-X Blade GS i3n40-450 2VR Laptop, but the HP has 4 GB more RAM and the CPU is a bit better than the i3 4000M, since it's Quad Core. I am going to use the laptop i choose for my university studies as well as play some games with it. So, which one would you think is the best choice for me?

Hello there!
Turbo for sure

Are you sure about that? I mean, the more cores a CPU has the better it is and since the AMD A8-7410 has more clock speed as well wouldn't the HP 15-af001nv Laptop be the best choice? I just want to be sure about this, i cannot afford to waste any money.

The Core i3-4000m will be slightly better than the A8-7410 in overall performance. The A8-7410 is a budget quad core CPU based on the low end Carrizo architecture and the clockspeed is pretty close; 2.4GHz vs 2.5GHz.

Each core in an Intel Core series CPUs can process a lot more instructions than each core in an AMD APU. If a game only makes use of one or two cores the Core i3 will easily provide much better performance. If a game can make use of 4 cores, then the performance will be about the same, but I give the Core i3 a slight edge.

The GT 840m is easily more powerful than the Radeon R5 M330 even though the GT 840m is not considered a powerful GPU. When the Radeon R5 M330 operates in dual graphics mode with the integrated Radeon R5 (Carrizo) GPU that the combined performance will come close to the GT 840m.

Thank you both for your help
