    You can add Graphics and then you'll have a the best overall performance.
    If you add the same card to the AMD system, the Intel system would be superior.

    I'm not making a recommendation either way. Just giving the facts.

    You think about your actual usage pattern rather than concentrating on processor performance. For instance, your choice has no HDMI output, no internal optical drive, no Wireless capabilty, a basic 4GB of RAM...

    It's fine, but you may need to spend more to bring it up to the spec that you actually may use from day to day.


    As an example, this MEDION® AKOYA® E4059 has a CPU comparable with your choice, together with perhaps better graphics, an HDMI output, Wireless capability, double the RAM at 8GB, double the HDD capacity at 1TB, an optical drive, 8 Channel audio, more USB connectors, USB keyboard and optical mouse... for £265.99

    I would certainly pay the extra £36 if it were my choice. The extra RAM alone can cover the extra cost.

    nice find nifty :) the integrated gfx will be better on that as well, and capable of gaming
