Which is a better overall processor for mobile? An AMD A12-9720p or i3-7100u? The usage for word, web browsing, some virtulization(Virtual Box), and possibly playing oblivion and skyrim. (Gaming isnt priority). The laptop would be using the onboard graphics. No dedicated card. I lean towards the A12 as 4 cores and better graphics but I have heard intel is better for laptops.
 


I saw the r5-2500u and was very impressed. It does look prmosing once it releases. I actually saw it for cheap. Should have grabbed it!! But do you know about how long until they start rolling out? I need a laptop for college starting in fall and the sooner the better but i can wait.
 


True it actually is quite a while. I just kinda wanted one now because it be nice. All the Raven Ridge laptops iv seen is the r5-2500u and r7-2700u. Notthing else. And iv only seen an HP with the r5
