I know that celeron are shit, i know that non i series Intel laptops are all shit, so I wouldn't even consider ordering one. I didn't know anything about AMD, so short of spending 1-2 hours researching the processors, which is ultimately what I wound up doing, I had no clue those A9's were shit!
I think that they are way better than Celerons. The hardware GPU really does make it do a good job. The A10 is plenty fast for normal business users.

If you're saying the A9-9420 is better than a Celeron - WOW - that makes celeron a total and complete waste of silicon for a laptop.
I'd have to see an A10 in action to know if it's worthwhile or not. I'm willing to accept than an R3/R5 are roughly equivalent to i3/i5, though if both options are available, the price would have to be noticeable before I would choose AMD - at least until I get some actual hands on experience.

My A10 I think is. Not sure about A9.

Pretty impressive. And a lot of things that didnt work with Intel are flawless with the AMD.

Things that choke on Intel's garbage fake GPU. The Great Art Race is an example. Wouldn't run at all on it. But Intel makes it impossible to fully disable.

Now you are just asking for an endless stream of things that have started working that I've given up on in the past.

Still running great, it's so fast we still feel like it is new, even though it is a year and a half old and gets used constantly.
