    Hey Wendy,

    As a rule of thumb, AMD processors are usually slower than Intel Processors.

    Personally, i wouldnt reccomend Dell, laptops and desktops seem to come out very expensive after shipping & vat is added.
    also, dell like to ship there pcs with alot of junk of them (thats there way of making money)

    i reccomend Acer, laptops are relaiable and affordable

    Thanks
