Hello,
Question is straight forward - which combo is better for laptop i3 5005U with GeForce 920M 2GB or i5 5200U with HD Graphics 5500?
This laptop will be used mostly for internet and multimedia. There won't be any hardcore gaming (maybe occasionally some old game) as I already have gaming rig.
Thanks.

I always go for the fastest CPU possible and ignore the graphics. The i5 5200U should be a faster chip and it has graphics that use less power, hopefully resulting in better battery life.

edit: The 5200U is faster, just keep in mind it is not a true i5, its only a dual core with hyper threading. This is still PLENTY fast for what you say you will be doing.
