Lenovo All In One desktop - Processor PROS vs CONS

[kargarcyr]

I need help. I am choosing between two Lenovo AIO desktops 21.5" touch screens. One is Intel Pentium i5 processor with only 4GB memory and only 1TB hard drive. The other is AMD Integrated Radeon R5 processor with 8GB memory and 2TB hard drive. Which is better? Other than social networking and online errands, I play one FB game with high definition graphics. I was told to only go with Intel i5 or better processor, but am torn by the larger memory and HD space on the other.

If it were me, I would go for the i5. It will be faster in most basic situations. You can always upgrade the RAM later. You may notice that 8gb would be faster in a few situations, but for most of what you do, 4 GB is enough. Personally, I wouldn't use the extra TB of drive space anyways.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. And that makes sense (I was reminded by a friend that I could upgrade my 4GB to 8 for about $30).
