Which to I Buy Lenovo or HP

[mduree]

Hi All,

I would love some help. I have two choices that I can afford right now. An HP A6 with AMD 6 at $279 or a Lenovo G50 with an AMD 8 at $299. Money is really tight right now. I use my laptop for email, facebook, music, streaming movies, maybe a word doc were or there and lots of internet searches. I like a couple of windows open at a time. I had a great experience with my first hp - it lasted so long that I wore the lettering off the keyboards, so, I bought another hp and that one had issue after issue after issue. I did read, however, that this year 2015 hp moved up in the rakings to number 3 and Lenovo moved down to number 6 - this was in a computer mag..... I know they are both inexpensive laptops and I don't mid upgrading in 3 years when I am out of grad school, but, I DO mind if the thing starts acting up in 1 year 1 month like my other hp did. Also, is an AMD 8 that much faster for my need. I can be inpatient.

The Lenovo is the better bang for your buck.

With all the "spyware" lenovo put on their machine, not sure if I would buy them.
For you price range, check out local store website, like micro center, sometime they sell better open box or display model laptop cheap.
