Intel i5-3210M or AMD A8-4500M laptop?

AMD A8-4500M in a heart beat. The moment I you mentioned intel's HD 4000 I said bye bye to it.

and some more demanding games like Dishonored.Cellmath85

Thank you Xtasy26, but could you tell me why? i also read that AMD is not as good as Intel, some other people like you prefer AMD, but i still do not know WHY. The AMD integrated gpu is better than the intel one? an AMD 4 core would make a difference over an intel dual core even without a dedicated gpu?Cellmath85

None of those PC's will be great for gaming though, the CPU's are low end and the GPU's too.

But the PC with i5 will be faster in most applications.

Battlespectre, i tough that Dishonored was a demanding game! Yellonet, thank you for your opinion, it is so confusing some people tell you AMD others Intel, well i know that those laptops clearly are not gaming laptops, as i said i would play a couple of hours a day, and do you think that Dead Island, Diablo 3, Dishonored and some recent good games would run well on low settings on the intel or the amd? Do you think i could find something better arround 500 dollars? what would you do? THANK YOU GUYS!Cellmath85

Whether or not you can find something better I don't know, laptops are generally quite expensive if you want good gaming performance.
A desktop PC however, if you could add a $100 or so you could get a pretty decent rig.

AMD A8-4500M is easily better than the HD 4000 when it comes to gaming. It will easily beat the intel's HD 4000 when you are gaming at the resolution of your laptop. Not to mention intel's graphics drivers are a JOKE.

Here's a link above:

Straight from the article:

"The integrated DirectX 11-compatible Radeon HD 7640G offers only 256 shader cores of the Trinity chip (7660G: 384) and, thanks to Turbo Core, will operate anywhere between 497 to 655 MHz depending on the current application demand. On average, the performance of the HD 7640G GPU is comparable to a dedicated Radeon HD 7610M and is even faster than the HD Graphics 4000 as found in Intels Ivy Bridge."

I hope this is clear enough for you. My brother has an similar laptop and he could do pretty descent gaming, while he can't max out games, it's pretty good at running games at descent frames. I wouldn't even bother to go with anything that says intel graphics in it.

AMD, plus it's better on battery life and cheaper... So it's a win win win.JohnF111

I'd get the Intel laptop, but the amd will be slightly better depending on the game.

General laptop performance will be noticeably better on the Intel though.

There is no way he should get the intel laptop, it has that crap HD 4000 chip. It will get mauled by the A8 APU.
