The amd quad core is another one of those processors people recognize less than the intel range, so tend to bypass.They shouldn’t because like the apu quad core it clocks at 2.2 ghz, and it overclock much faster than the i3.For gamers it includes a radeon r5 graphics card, which produces excellent and superbly intricate arcade-like game performance, but there is a low data transfer rate, although because of the great cpu, buyer will probably not notice.there’s also 4gb of ram, so we’re not quite up into the 8gb league of the lenovo, but 4gb is still very good.and, you get an hd resolution(1366*768)with 1tb of storage so you’ll never run out.i give 5 stars.
