Think you could stretch to an Intel i3?

I mean for the money it's not a bad spec - what would you want to use it for?

+1 on going for the i3, I used my first i3 PC laptop today, was thoroughly impressed.

I would try and go for an i series Intel chip. They are so good, AMD have been out the game now for a fair few years. Would be more future proof and last you longer. However, they are slightly more expensive.

lol that means sweet F.A to me lol, tbh i dont want to spend over £300 as it will be only used when i come up stairs to go on whilst in bed.
