Hi! I plan on staying on a distro now since I’ve been distrohopping, what is better?
Dell Latitude E6410 with:
Intel i7 m620 (2 cores, 4 threads)
Intirgrated graphics
6gb ram
1tb hard drive
Or
Amd Phenom fx-5000 (4 cores, 4 threads)
Amd R7 240 GPU
4gb ram
256 ssd
Do you ask this as having your main machine be one or the other?
Both machines have positives and negatives and I could list a billion of them, but what are your goals?
I plan on using it for schoolwork and a little gaming (Terraria, supertuxkart, etc…) And virtualization. And it’s going to be my main computer
Uhhh… Use both?
I can only keep one though 
Oh D: well that’d be good to know before hand lol.
Well, I’d say test all of what you want to do on each. Benchmark every little thing and compare times. I have a stupid lists of benchmarks (literally just search stupid list of benchmarks) and see what tests do what on your hardware.
Personally I like laptops a lot, but you might want 4 physical cores for something. Also keep in mind that scrapping for hardware is an option.
Okay! I’ll do that rn! I’ll edit the post when I figure out which one to use 
If you need help give me a ring :3
All my benchmarks are for real world performances and test a lot of weird stuff, so keep in mind other benches exist.
Hell, see what the machines each do for VM’s, especiallf with the task you will make the VM do.
The vm part is really important as I’m going to make a spin of Ubuntu, and I’ll need to test it out lol
Well, running on real hardware is a lot better than running on a VM. They are two completely different things that aren’t even remotely close to being similar.
What is your use case?
Do you need the mobility of a laptop?
That is true, but I need the vm to at least know it will install correctly. I’ve done the respin process before and sometimes the iso messes up. (Also, just tested them out! The desktop is better than the laptop)
I like the ayymd one. But can you take the 1tb HD from the intel build? Then you can have 1.2 terabytes of total storage.
I think I can, I also have a 120gb hard drive from a dead Xbox 360 so now I have 1.3 if I removed the DVD drive! 
Teah. Keep the laptop if you can. Those old vPro cpu’s are really good for building llvm crap.
