Default Which laptop Platform? - 07-16-2011, 03:23 | posts: 298

Should i get a:

Intel Core i3 2310M/Intel HD 3000

or, AMD E-350/Radeon hd 6310

my concerns are battery life...

As for gaming?? all i would play is runescape.. that's about it.

maybe minecraft and LOl..

if price tag is not an issue then I suggest for Intel computer. Though AMD and Intel these days has very small difference. I would also suggest following your heart hehehe.
