Question

Comparing two Laptops

Sep 2, 2015 5:18PM PDT

I purchased a the following laptop from Best Buy.
Lenovo G-50 - 80E30181US
15.6" LapTop AMD A8Series
6gb Memory 500GB Hard Drive

Off course Best Buy somehow messed up the order and replaced it with the following:

Lenovo G-50 80L0
i3 4gb memory 1 TB hard Drive

I am trying to determine if I should keep the computer. My question really is witch one is best. Keeping in mind that I only paid $249.00 for the lap top.

The mix up was totally best buys fault and they indicated to me that the computer they gave me as a replacement was a better computer. Pardon me if I don't believe them...

BTW
The computer will be used for school projects, web browsing, streaming, and limited game play (mine craft). Thanks in advance for your help.

My son has an AMD A8 and has played many games on it. The i3 would be a laggard but fine web browser.
