I am looking for a new laptop since my 7 yr old one died night before last. I am looking at entry level laptops under tree fiddy. I normally use only basic functions internet surfing, email, excel / word documents and some casual gaming. I have found two of which are very similar
Both have AMD A8 processors and AMDR5 graphics cards all other specs are the same except:

#1 Lennovo g50   $329                                                                                                

* 6gb ram                                                                                                                              
* 500gb HD                                                                                                                        


#2 Hp 15-f215dx   $299

* 4 gb ram
* 750 gb HD


Will one have an advantage gaming and surfing the internet?

More RAM is always gooder.

I love my new Lenovo Y70 Touch, would buy another one, so I vote the G50



RAM can always be added after the fact

Recently bought an Asus with an i5, I think it was $358 through bestbuy.com. Been happy with it.
