In short, I'm in the market for a mid-range laptop for school that will be running some software that will require a dedicated video card. I've done some reading on both the A6-3400M and the i5-2410M but I still can't decide. I've heard multiple stories of how under certain situations the AMD will out perform the Intel. Then again I've heard that the Intel runs much better with a dedicated video card.
Ex.
i5-2410M
6470M 512mb
A6-3400M
6755G2 1Gb dedicated
Assuming that the ram/hdd/etc are equal which is the best option in your opinion? (both are the same make as well)
