I want to help my friend buy a laptop since he needs one for school soon and doesn't have much money which means he's limited we got it down to these two laptop, bare in mind his budget is $200 and he can't get a weak atom/celeron since he will be doing low end gaming during vacations and snes emulation.
1st laptop:
hp
AMD A8 4500m apu 1.9ghz
1tb
8gb ram
radeon 7640g
nice big 17' screen
2nd
toshiba
Intel core i3 3120m 2.5ghz
750gb
8gb ram
intel hd 4000
nicer keyboard but smaller screen
the third choice was a sandy bridge pentium with 610m.. I don't think it can match either of them. He really wants the AMD one but I don't think it will do anything compared to the i3 will. Any help would be great.
