AMD Processors for Laptops - how to choose

First of all, a Processors is a hardware component that is complicated to explain how it works and what it does to a consumer. However, just understand that the processor is basically the HUB where everything processes through in a computer (very basic explanation so other techs don't beat me up for description). With this said, there are 2 processor brands in the market - Intel and AMD. This post will be on the lower end CPU's AMD offers. AMD came out with "low cost laptop processors" called "E" series that has a 1, 2 or 3 code after the E. This processor is pretty weak in the performance arena but allows the low cost laptop to be distributed. Now AMD has come out with an A9 version which some will argue due to the bad press on the E series processor. AMD makes this numbering system complicated to understand, so I will present why it is confusion. AMD release a number of years ago an A8 and A10 processors (also referred to as CPU) which have double the processing capabilities and performance abilities as well as uses less electricity to do this. Then AMD released the A9 series. A logical thought by consumers is A9 must be better than the A8 and less power than the A10. This is totally incorrect fact regarding the A9 processor. Our testing shows this process runs around 60% of capability to run Windows 10 and 4 tabs open on a browser like Chrome. Many times when changing website will spike the processor use to over 90% maybe even sustained 100% for a minute. While as a general position, we find AMD processors are a better choice than Intel based on Price, Performance and Product Availability. We are not saying AMD beats all performance capabilities of Intel processors but we are saying the Return On Investment is consistently better than Intel. We suggest purchasing an old AMD A6 processor laptop over the newer A9 processor. We are willing to review as we can the laptops you find and provide our thoughts at no charge.
