Need help to buy a laptop

[Sadegh.H]

Hi,
I want to buy a laptop with these options:
1- Full HD monitor (1920*1080)
2- dedicated graphics card
3- Intel CPU
4- at least 8GB of ram
5- price between 400$ to 600$

I've searched and found:
Acer Aspire 3 A315 with two CPU:
corei5 10210u and corei5 1035g1
other specs are the same:
8GB 1TB 2GB Full HD

I've checked benchmarks and comparisons between those two CPUs and these are the results:
1035g1 is ice lake and 10210u is Comet Lake but 10210u frequency is more than 1035g1.
So please tell me which is better?

if you know any other laptops that have those options please tell me.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

From experience, I'd ask you to invest onto a laptop that is current gen. If it's between those two, I'd get the one with the revised(lower) lithography, ie, the i5-1035G1 as it's a 10nm process and it has a better IMC so you can drop in DDR4-3200MHz ram kits into your laptop purchase, down the road(provided the laptop supports it).

Mind sharing a link to the laptops?

What will this laptop be used for?

As best as I can tell, the acer does not have a discrete graphics chip.

Both come with only 8gb of ram.
Most of the time you will want 16gb and dual channel operation.
Verify that you can add another 8gb to whatever you buy.

If the laptops do not have a ssd, it will not include windows as advertised.
