What laptops are better under 500$ One with AMD or Intel? I plan to use it for school, youtube and perhaps some light CSGO like on low settings 60fps. A8 APU or PEntium, Celeron or Core I3. I want it to be fast, or quick fro surfing, minimum of 500gb HDD. Also for it to be easily portable and durbale

with 500$ you should shoot for quad core i5 maybe a lenovo.

 

Mobile i5s are all dual-cores.

If you don't mind the shorter battery life, AMD makes sense (the FX and A10 APUs provide decent integrated graphics performance). If you can get an Intel one with dedicated graphics, then that is even better.

 

This looks like a great option (i5 Processor, 940M Dedicated Graphics, and Hybrid Storage):

It may look a little low-rent, but it provides excellent bang/buck. It should be quite responsive for your needs.
