Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop for my daughter. She uses it for light gaming which includes the odd 3D game, but graphics aren't too important to her as long as the games run OK. (she was happy with her ASUS X555YA with AMD A6-7310 2.2 GHz Processor, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD but it packed up)
Looking for 1TB hard drive, 8GB ram. Probably 15" screen but she might consider a 17"
I've seen this 15" @ £399 - Lenovo IdeaPad 310 i3 6100U -
and this 17" @ £499 - Lenovo IdeaPad 320 AMD A10-9620P
The A10 seems to be the better chip on paper but it's older and seems to perform worse in benchmarks according to random sites on google. Any thoughts on this?
Also, any other recommendations or other laptops I should consider?
Second question, she stores loads of stuff and installs loads of games from steam, hence the 1TB HD. I notice that SSD drives are popular these days. Is it a stupid idea to buy her a laptop with 256GB SSD and then put her games etc on an external 1TB drive?
Thanks!
