I have an android pc/phone I miss the laptop feeling. I am so undecided about AMD or Intel that I have not bought any thing. Can someone please suggest which one will be better? It needs to be good for every thing, Gaming, office work and video conferencing.

thanks

    They each have so many different models in their range that you can't say one brand is better than the other.
    Decide on your budget and define your requirements a bit more than Gaming, office work and video conferencing. Then work from that into a laptop specification that will meet your needs and won't break the bank.

    It really does not matter. Just get the best laptop you can afford.

    I'd go to tomshardware.co.uk/.com and check out the benchmarks for various processors. Then get the best one for the money that you have to spend, regardless of whether it's an Intel or AMD chip.
