Hey guys, I was looking to buy a new laptop. Its gonna be used for some daily college and office works and also some gaming (not hardcore gaming, maybe simulators, or even BF 3 on low settings,). I have found two laptops thats in my budget (i.e $450). I cant decide between the processors. which ones better? the laptops are:

Acer Aspire V3-551-8469 15.6-Inch
AMD A-Series Quad-Core A8-4500M 1.9 GHz (4 MB Cache)
4 GB SDRAM
500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch Screen, AMD Radeon HD 7640G Graphics
Windows 8, 5-hour battery life

And

ASUS A55A-AH31-WT 15.6-Inch
Intel Core i3-3110M 2.4 GHz
4 GB DDR3
750 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
intel graphics 4000 HD (not really sure what the graphics card is)
15.6-Inch Screen
Windows 8
And plz dont be like "both are good its your choice".lol

For gaming, the A8-4500M with the Radeon 7640G wins hands down. Actually, I would say the better deal would be the Acer. For $380 Best Buy has a Toshiba (which I'm currently using) with the same specs (640gb HDD).

Toshiba Satellite A8-4500M $379.99

The graphics processor is the HD 4000. It's the integrated "gpu" in the Ivy Bridge CPU's. It loses to the Radeon 7640G in every benchmark.
