It really depends on your purpose. If you are a heavy gamer then I would suggest going with something with an AMD A10 processor. The Intel i7 5500U is comparable to the AMD A10-7400P CPU. For strict work horse power the Intel beats the amd but for graphics and video the AMD completely schools the intel hands down. For more office stuff the Intel rocks.. Multitasking there is NOTHING better than an intel.. for graphics and gaming the AMD is in a different universe, insane compared to the 5500U. In practical terms with Adobe Creative Cloud... The AMD will get you there with things looking REALLY REALLY great. The Intel I7 5500U will get you there more consistently, able to have more power available and multitask much more evenly with multiple applications open and switching between in a real world use way. For graphics and gaming the I7 will get you there slower, dropped frames and much lower FPS. For heavy use of work related software... go with this machine but put 16 GB into it strictly because you can and multitasking is indecent. For gaming, much better graphics and pretty on the screen.. the AMD A10-7400P is much better. Intel i7 5500U -> Faster, multi-tasker.. gets the job done fast. AMD A10-7400P - Makes things look PRETTY and Sleak.. Gets you there a little slower but gets you there. I have used laptops with both CPU's so this review is from my own personal experience and not something I read somewhere or just a reword of some benchmark.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I'm not mistaken, the i7 is currently the best processor for what you're looking for. I imagine the graphics card on this particular computer might not hold up for quality gaming, though. You would probably want to upgrade the memory to 8 gigs or more, as well.
