how fast is this "AMD Dual-Core A4-1200 processor" ? how does it compared against i5?

Slow. The Toshiba Satellite's processor couldn't keep up with windows that I would have open for some of the simplest tasks such as writing a paper with a search engine open or scrolling through social media. I have fast Internet through my university, yet, this computer would lag all the time. Ten times slower than my four year old Toshiba protégé

I'm VERY disappointed with this tablet/laptop. . I'd choose something else.

Its a dual core processor, but you have to set that preference in the bios.

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much.But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...

A friend of mine has the i7. I think the only real difference is he may get a few more frames per second in certain games. And I read that i7 can multi task better. But I assume that it would only make a difference if you were to run two to three really big programs. But being that I usually just play games or play around in cryengine or 3ds max that the i5 was a smarter purchase.

I recommend buying the i5-4590. It's the same CPU for the same price and it has improved thermal paste and heatsink so you won't need to worry much about buying an aftermarket cooler. It's also 100 MHz faster.

It works great with my i5-4570, so I don't think it will be bottlenecked by that processor.

I'm not familiar with either product, so I can't say. My computer with the AMD Phenom II sits next to one with an Intel Socket 1150 i3, and although the Intel is a more recent CPU, I think the AMD may be faster in use (although it could be 16G of ram vs. 8G).

It will be faster but I can't say by how much since I've never had a processor that you are upgrading from. The phenon is also unlocked so you can overclock it. But I've never did that. Make sure you a lot of video memory because that will also slow you down on windows 7 or 8.

NO - 6800K is faster AMD A10-6800K advantages AMD A10-6800K In single-threaded programs, the A10-6800K has 2% better performance. The processor has 9% higher performance when running multi-threaded applications. The microprocessor is 1% faster in memory-intensive tasks. This CPU is unlocked. Therefore, the processor can be freely overclocked on most motherboards to get greater performance. Be aware that overclocking can void your warranty. The A10-6800K has 3% better price/performance ratio than the AMD A10-6700 CPU.

Briefly, 2 cores, up to 16GB ram, 2M Cache, 1.10 GHz. Low power, but much faster than Atoms. (of course that may change.) Full specs here: http://ark.intel.com/products/56056/

The unit has a AMD Dual-Core E1-1200 Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon operating at 1.4 GHz, with 1MB Cache AMD A68M Chipset. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice but do you think the dual core would be better? It's cheaper as well.

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

As I know the A8 has between 2.4 thru 2.9 Ghz rating and not 4.3 as you have related unless you are looking at extreme overclocking. Also, the HD graphics has a lower rating of 7550D and 6550D AMD graphics integrated into the processor. The A10 series graphics 7660HD graphics with 512MB DDR3 capability. If you want to really go for the gold then try checking out the A10-6800K APU. This is new to the market and even faster. It can max to 4.4 Ghz per core and has an even bigger graphics array. Hope this helps.

The AMD E-350 processor runs (standard) at 1.6GHz, for the price, it is a very capable little system. Here is some benchmark data: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+E-350&id;=249

It is I7 CPU. Supper fast, but very sensitive to touch when I try to navigate.

It depends on a lot of things. You have to take into consideration FSB, cache, the new features of the core 2 duo chips, if your motherboard can handle it, etc. I'm currently running a low end dual core pentium d 2.66ghz and it would not perform as good as this e4300 even though it's faster. It has a smaller cache and slower fsb among other things. Processor frequency is like a lot of other things, sometimes quality is better than quantity; a higher frequency will almost never dictate whether or not it will perform well.
