Which of this laptop's is better?

Solution


Depends on the A10 you'll...


For a programmer I believe the Dell is better simply because it has a better CPU that will allow multitasking in my opinion, you won't need a graphic card!
 


Thanks for you answer! would I feel any diference between the A8 and the A10 ? the price range is very similar
 


Depends on the A10 you'll pick! Whatever your choice is, keep in mind that as a programmer you'll want the best frequencies out there (e.g.: 3 GHz is better than 2 GHz) and the most cores or threads you can get (4 cores being better than 2 cores). Usually people say Intel's CPUs are more reliable than AMDs but this is just too much difference and I'd go with AMD on this one :)
