Answer 1

Just depends what you will be using it for.

Answer 2

I'm a computer specialist and as much as it hurts to say this since I've been an AMD fan for years. The intel products in general are just better performers. The only drawback is their onboard video isn't near as good as what the AMD based laptops offer but the CPU's are better performers depending on it's class. With that said. Go with the Intel unless the price difference between the two is over $200 USD.

Answer 3

Well 1st one. It has a 4GB RAM which is really fast. For football manager graphics are not that important. It has 160GB HD but its not as needed on a lap top and you can always save stuff on discs and such. It has a good processor and a trusted company from Intel. Its a HP so its safer to go with a bigger company. I just took a basic look at it.
