I need to help a friend pick out a laptop for daily use. She is majoring in digital media production at a local college. The budget is really really tight, and I am essentially restricted to budget 15.6" laptops.

I thought that the Core i3-2350m would be the best choice (for our budget), but I don't know enough about the new AMD APU processors, so I figured I would ask everyone.

My CPU/GPU choices are listed below:
A6-3420M - most likely choice
A8-3520M
A8-3500M
Core i3-2350m - highest CPU benchmark score

The A8-3500M seems to outperform the A8-3520M, Why?

well, I ended up helping her out and she got a core i5-2450m toshiba. http://www.staples.com/Toshiba-L755-S5170-156-Laptop/product_424191

Think that will do? We got a really good deal, at least I think. $499 + tax.

Can someone delete this thread? (thanks)

I disagree with that, especially considering this i5 is a dual core and not a quad core processor (more cores usually helps with media production).

With the majority of programs including the latest versions of most media editing programs such as Sony Vegas moving towards GPU accelerated tasks you will see a huge benefit from an APU and more performance than what a Core i5 setup will get you without discrete graphics (and remember that discrete graphics comes at the cost of battery life - the APU platform for general use, however, has all-day battery life).

I swear, you are seeing 1/3-1/2 of the performance that you could have if you had an APU laptop of the same price.

Nearly everything is becoming GPU accelerated join the wave

That's why I scrapped my GTS 450 for a Radeon HD 5850 even though I'm not really in need of any gaming prowess

@#$%^&* Flash isn't, does any one share my frustration? I bet you if it was my POS Pentium 3 laptop would play youtube and online flash games flawlessly considering it has an older nvidia. Let alone other older hardware and low end current gen hardware.

I'm pretty sure Flash Player brought on general GPU acceleration a long time ago, by version 10.3 methinks.
