Lenovo G50-80, core i3 4th/5th generation, dedicated graphic card or HP 15 APU A8 which one is better?

Have to ask… Better for what?

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. Lenovo Makes it hard to surf thru their site without signing up to find trouble shooting tips. Sometimes it is impossible to find certain things without giving them your email addy. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them. Lenovo also got caught shipping system with Adware installed on them called Visual Discovery by Superfish. It was a giant security hole that they intentionally installed for corporate greed.

HP does not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it. Their customer support and technical service is far better then the others and they have excellent online support. I have dealt with many companies when it comes to this kind of support and HP stand out.

The i3 and the A8 are about equal. It would have helped if you would have given the model number of the HP. There's no true way of telling you anything about it without knowing which A8 it has in it. The A8 is a APU which as the CPU and GPU in one chip and it does have its advantages.

The HP is a better lappy all the way around when compared to Lenovo. I would go the HP just on the fact that they have a far superior build quality and customer support.
