Ahmotorsport Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Evening all. I've been thinking of getting a Laptop for a while now, to replace my Desktop. There are two in particular i'm looking at, i just wanted to ask your opinion on which one is better really. They aren't the best ones in the world but will do what i want just fine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390512724985?ssP...984.m1423.l2649 This one or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Inspiron-15...=item5aee83c3cd I'm pretty sure that the I3 processor is better than the AMD. However, i want to do some light gaming on it, nothing major, the game doesn't require much but i'm wondering it it's better to have the better processor or the more RAM for the integrated graphics? If you know of any better laptops for similar pricing then by all means send me some links. Not sure when i will be buying though. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The i3 is the better CPU and there won't be a lot between the graphics on both. A RAM upgrade wouldn't be too expensive. Replacing a desktop for a low-spec laptop with gaming in mind is a bit backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Im not even sure how good these laptop graphics are, intel 3000 and AMD 6250 sound pretty shite but I'd like to see how they match up to the min requirements of most games.

scottybo Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 u cant play games on a laptop. out of the 2 the intel rig has a better processor. the amd rig has better graphics. if u insist on buying a laptop i would suggest the amd. as far as processing power, u wont notice a difference in the 2 but the better graphics will make the difference. a lot of games dont even support intel integrated graphics cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
