For anyone reading the above article keep in mind that the laptops with model numbers ending with 5 have an AMD processor, not Intel.
To be more precise FX 8800p, A10 8700p, A8 8600p and A6 8XXX something (don’t remember the name of the lowest chip)
While the Intel chips will feel snappier and be faster in most cases the AMD laptops will probably do better at tasks that are compute accelerated.
So facial recognition and fingerprint recognition. Video conferences and video playback. And 3D applications.
Libreoffice will probably run better on AMDs chips, Microsoft Office probably on Intels version.
That’s my guess anyway based on what I’ve heard about these processors.
