So school is starting soon and i need a new laptop, im gonna be doing some light programming, school work and some light gaming as well. Now i know the Intel CPU's are better in the sense of raw CPU horsepower and AMD's APU's offer better gaming performance (most of the time). Now the two laptops i have to choose from are an ASUS with an i5-3210m and Toshiba with an A6-5400, problem i cant find anything that compares the two CPU's/ Now my question is which one would yield more frames in games on low settings? (I have a gaming PC at home i want to do some light gaming when im on the go) Thanks!

One between these two:

They're both good brands so you won't have any problems and they will fill your needs perfectly :)

 

But if it would be to choose only one, I would choose the asus one for the extra ram and the i5 but I would choose the acer for the gpu and looks(imo)
