dunno-

AMD doesn’t scare me – I’ve purchased both desktop and laptop computers with AMD CPUs and I haven’t had problems with either.

AMD usually is cheaper than Intel, and in this case the Intel i3 CPU is probably a bit better. It’s tough to do a straight comparison, since they use a completely different architecture, and Intel is better at some things, while AMD is better at others.

My “green lighting” of this model was heavily influenced by the number of positive reviews from people who bought it.

For your requirements, either the A4-3300M CPU or Intel’s i3 would more than suffice.

If you’re not comfortable with this PC’s specs and/or want to look around further, by all means do so – at this time of year there are sure to be other good buys to be had.
