Hi Guys,

I need to choose an laptop, which out of these two processors is better, Intel Pentium P6100 2Ghz or AMD Athlon II P340 2.2 GHz?
The AMD based laptop is £50 less, is the intel P6100 based laptop worth £50 more??
The two laptops are very similiar, the AMD one being an Dell inspiron M501R and the Intel one being an inspiron 15R.
Thanks in advance guys :)

thanks, unfortunately dell do not do the core i3 based laptops where you can choose the colour of the laptop.
The laptop is a birthday present for a 13 year old girl. Who wants a pink laptop.
Only the ntel Pentium P6100 2Ghz and AMD Athlon II P340 2.2 GHz laptops are available where you can choose the colour.
Is the P6100 based laptop worth spending an extra £50 more than the AMD P340?
Thanks again
 
thanks, went for the cheaper AMD based laptop, as she is only 13.. not likely to use or notice the speed difference (i hope) lol
 
The AMD laptops run a bit hotter and burn through the battery faster than equivilant Intel offerings. For her uses, I'd say the cheaper option was probably the right move - she'll have it broke within a few months anyway :p
