but the processor is allright, right?

[emosun]

well no it's not too good either , I think a q6600 from 2007 would really give it a run for it's money lol

Nope, its fx era.

[Antonios]

300-400, but I do not want a used laptop.

You would need to go used for this budget

buy used otherwise you'll buy absolute junk such as what you've found.

the laptop i use i bought 2 years ago for 280$ and it's almost twice the speed of what you've got there.

Its a bad series lf CPUs from AMD that are awful.  Unlike today, a couple of years back AMD had terrible CPUs.

So, is it better to buy one with an Intel Core i3 6006U 2GHz?

It's not about the performance, it's the overall build quality

when a windows update is happening?
when you just want to check an email?
when all you want to do is literally open office without the cpu having a heart attack trying to juggle the spaghetti mess of code from windows 10?

yes , yes it's faster. even ms paint would run faster.

we're trying to get you the best machine for the money. If you were not aware the machine is bad and had to ask us only to find out it is..... then maybe you should take some of our advice.

or don't. buy the bad laptop. not our money. we don't suffer for it.

I know the screen isnt great, i preffer the 14" model. But in terms of having an SSD, and 8GB of Ram with an ok CPU it pretty good at its pricepoint

Almost everything isn't great in that model. Including build quality. Don't just look at specs when choosing laptop

In my country, the 4GB version with 15,6 screen only exists (330 costs)

But, the processor is from 2016, whistl AMD's from Q2 2018.

Dont bother then as 8GB of Ram is one of the redeeming factors in that laptop.
