The laptop will mainly be for school. So I will obviously be doing the normal stuff like office and internet browsing, but on the other hand these laptop will need to be able to run virtual machines relatively smoothly, since I am part of the cyber security club, and we use vms all the time. The main different between the two is the A10 and i5 processors, the one with the A10 also has space for me to add more ram, something vms eat up like crazy. But ultimately, this comes down to what will run vm better, the A10 with 4 cores or the i5 with 2 hyperthreaded cores. Aslo I would love to see any other suggestions under $500. Thanks

id choose the 2nd one.. the cpu is a bit weak for first. i think 8gb should be decent for just about anything

@2nd opinion anyone?
