Amd vs Intel

Hi guys! To those who know specs/ graphics stuff... Mind helping me?

I've been eyeing these laptops and I just don't know which one suites my needs!

I need a laptop that would:
--Be best for multi-tasking such surfing the internet with multiple windows
--Best for watching videos
--AND most of all! Best at playing video games such as league of legends, vinidictus, and Combat Arms

(Yea I know. They're manufactured... at least they're cheaper huhuuhuuuhuuh..)

Intel core i5

AMD Radeon HD 8650G

Thanks a lot!

That description is unclear. Not only is the spectrum of laptop offerings quite broad, but so are the games themselves and their hardware requirements. The games you listed - league of legends, vinidictus, and Combat Arms - have arguably low-end system requirements, but you are under the impression that you need a laptop with mid-range gaming performance.

Additionally, the gaming performance of a laptop is limited by its own space saving, power saving design. The computer shopping questionnaire I provide is to put one's own needs and wants plainly in front of themselves which also allows me to determine what options are available, what options aren't available, and what tradeoffs may need to made for those options that may happen to sit in between appropriate and unreasonable.

@Burning: i want a decent laptop that runs game pretty well. NOT EXTREMELY gamer kind but okay. Im still debating whether to keep saving money for a used car or buy a laptop x.x

There's more to your needs.

Answer as many questions as you are willing. The information you provide will narrow down the potential computers I look at.

What country/state do you live in?
What is the upper limit of your budget?
Would you like to save money or do you want to spend as much of your budget as possible?
Can you order online? If you cannot order online, what stores are around you?

How much hard drive space do you want?
Are there any other games you play or want to play?
What other programs do you use?

Do you have a preferred laptop weight?
Do you have a preferred screen size?
Is battery life important?
Why do you need a laptop? To where and how often will it be moved?

Mention any other special requests you may have. Be as detailed as you can with all your responses.

Have you tried looking videos on how to build that's how I managed to put mine together.
Also not sure how the cpus of each laptop compare but I'm pretty sure the second one has a better video card and also more ram.

One is a processor and one is a video card? Can you compare both processors and both video cards please. Pretty sure AMD 8650G is a Video Card.

[quote=Icephoenix21]I don't have anything to back my reasoning but I prefer Intel.

Honestly, laptop and gaming are just not meant to be, imo...it's better just to build a desktop.[/quote]

(I do prefer intel too! but idk why the other laptop has 1,000 sold.....)
