- Intel® Core™ i5-1035G1 Processor
- RAM: 8 GB / Storage: 256 GB SSD
- Full HD screen
So its pretty evens on spec really - they're both IPS screens too, Passmark CPU scores:
- AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor
- RAM: 8 GB / Storage: 256 GB SSD
- Full HD touchscreen
AMD: 7179 (single core score: 1991)
Intel: 7959 (single core score: 2399)
So clearly, for CPU grunt the Intel wins out by about 10%.
The AMD will be better for anything that requires graphics performance though - so photoshop, video editting, any gaming (it'll run as a low-end gaming machine -Ryzen is great for that).
Bit bonkers limiting yourself to HP though. I've got nothing against HP laptops at all (got one sat right next to me), but they're not superior to other brands like Lenovo.
In short, both of the laptops you're looking at are canny. You might find they come pre-loaded with a load of shite that slows them down though, HP are terrible for that.
Aye. I've said that to her about limiting it to HP but she is determined. I'll probably advise her to go for the AMD. Cheers.
