Hello all and good day to you. =) I am really in need of another laptop as my current one is simply wayyyy under powered for my needs which are light gaming (nothing to intensive really), surfing the web, streaming YouTube videos wishing for HD, and the like. As you can see nothing to crazy but this 311 just doesn't cut it all anymore and i'm moving over seas very soon.

I am looking at two laptops on HP's website that really seems to be in the ballpark of my budget and I am totally confused as to which one would suit my needs in the long run. Can you folks here please help me out with a few moments of your time if you wouldn't mind?

These are the links to the two laptops

The whole AMD vs Intel is really confusing to me. Love the battery life on the Intel though, but performance in the long run is what I care about more. Thank you so much and have a great day! :D

Best Regards

If you plan to do gaming beyond Facebook or Kongregate games, the A8 will be better. If you never play even WoW, then yeah, go for the longer battery of the i5-U
