Hi guys, 

 

I truly appreciate the responses. I am really on tight budget that's why I only stick with those options. I have two more laptop that I strongly consider purchasing. Gadgets here in the Philippines were strongly taxed in that's why it was very expensive for us. Please help me decide. Thank you to everyone that will reply. This is all second-hand. I will use it for GNS3 and Oracle virtualbox. also for programming and networking learning. and games sometimes.

The machines are identical spec wise except for the GPU's, and even those are so close as to be a non-factor in the decision.  The 920 and the R7-M445 pull punches nearly identically.

 

It really comes down to which one has the better price, and which one you like the looks of better. Screen size and keyboard should be looked at in the comparison as well.

The Dell has a keypad. If that's useful for your programming, I think that's a no brainer.

Thanks guys for the responses. I'm worried last night on how will a intel processor will fair up when paired on an geforce 920mx gpu than a radeon r7 m445. Would like make much difference? I have not used any nvidia or radeon gpu before. sorry.

Thanks for the response. Would an intel cpu work well with an radeon gpu other than nvidia? thank you.

The CPU does not care what GPU you have.  Either card will work about the same with that CPU.  Walang Anuman.

I would prefer a laptop with at least KB-R CPU (8250U) and at least MX150 GPU. Those old hardware really have outdated performance.
