I'm torn between which laptop to get. I'm very close to making my purchase and I literally need some last minute advice before I make my decision. My total budget is $550. I only have a few questions.
1. Since laptops are capped at their native res, wouldn't that put more stress on the CPU versus the GPU?
2. Can Intel's HD 3000 graphics handle 720p streaming videos with ease? (I'm talking like 2-3 years down the line, will it still be good in that distant future)
3. Would a more powerful CPU be more practical in terms of longevity for my uses such as an i3-2350M versus an A8-3500M or even an A8-4400M? (graphics aren't too much of a concern for me, except for question 2)
