Hi LTT!

 

You don't have to open any links and stuff , I'll just post the laptop configurations for the laptop that i want to buy my dad. Laptops are pretty much for browsing and storing a lot of pictures and music. Here they are:

 

1.

CPU: AMD E2-7110 APU (1.8 GHz, 2 MB Cache, Quad core)
RAM: 4GB DDR3L 1600 MHz

HDD: 500GB

GPU: AMD Radeon R2 Graphics

Display: 15.6"

 

2.

Display: 15.6"

CPU: Intel Core i3 4005U 1.7GHz

DDR (GB): 4

HDD (GB): 500

VGA: Intel HD 4400

 

The third one has the same specs as the 2nd one, the only difference is that one is Toshiba, and the other one is Acer.

 

Edit: I've also seen some dual core Centrinos, and Celerons, but I had one with one and it wasn't really that great of a laptop, i might be wrong tho.

the second one. I got a laptop with a new pentium and it's torture to use compared to my tower, but I got it for my wife who wanted a 2-in-1 and she's happy, it's just dreadfully slow to me.

I assumed going for the i3, does it make any difference between acer and toshiba? I mean laptop = laptop, not sure if there's a brand difference, same warranty aswell

I'd check professional reviews, different battery life and technical issues, reviews should mention anything worth noting
