Right off the assembly line
I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I need it asap so I can't really wait until windows8 comes out. The choices are below

asus 4gb ram, 500gb hard drive, $399, AMD A8-4500M

asus 4gb ram, 320 gb hard drive, $299, intel pentium b970 processor, 2 usb ports, no cd-dvd drive

Lenovo G570, Intel Core i5-2450, 4GB Memory, 500GB Hard Drive

I intend to use the laptop for internet surfing and programming with php. I DO NOT intend to use it for gaming. Since I do multi-task sometimes, I thought the AMD would be much better since it is quad core.

On my current laptop, I'm only using about 150gb, so 500gb isn't necessary for me.

What do you guys think is the better deal for me? according to

Intel Core i5-2450 > intel pentium b970 processor >AMD A8-4500M. Do you guys agree?
