Question

ssd with a6 or hdd with i3

by java2python Jun 8, 2016 10:13AM PDT

i have been allowed 1000 CAD by my company to purchase a laptop for me. I work as an IT consultant (not much heavy work on that office laptop - it would be ms word, chrome, visio etc). I saw lenevo thinkpad E series to be a good match for around 800 CAD on their website and it has an corei3 4gb ram and 500 gb HDD. the other option was thinkpad e AMD series which was around 650 CAD and if i change to SSD it would add around 150 and become around 800 CAD, however the processor it shows is AMD A6. Do you think its better to go for AMD A6+SSD rather than Corei3+HDD ?

I paid under 50 for a 240GB SSD to my mailbox. And under 99 for a 480GB SSD last week.

Take the faster CPU (use CPUBOSS.COM to test) and get a SSD later.
