Question

Which of these 2 processors are much better for a laptop?

Sep 21, 2017 4:41AM PDT

Hi, I need some advice. I want to get a laptop. I was looking particularly at the processors in each. One is an Acer laptop with an Intel celeron N3350 duo core processor which has a speed of 1.1 Ghz with a boost to 2.4 Ghz, whilst the other is a HP laptop with an AMD Quad-Core E2-7110 processor with a speed of 1.8 GHz. I will only be using the laptop for watching films online, surfing the net and using Microsoft office. Can I ask, if the specs and price of the laptop are pretty much the same apart from the processor, which one would you buy. (i.e which is the better processor for speed and use in the long run)

If was a dog. We also have a dual core celeron. The duo core celeron is in fact in use by my wife on travel right now. Intel wins this round.

The E2 laptop was gifted to a needy student.
