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