hello and happy thanksgiving,
i am looking to buy another laptop. i saw the specs below for one that i am considering.
it has an amd chip.
i have never had a laptop with an amd chip, so i don't know how its performance compares to intel chips and if it is powerful enough to install/run sql server 2016 developers edition and all of the other tools needed to learn reporting services. my current laptop is about 3 years old and has an intel core i7 chip with 8gb of ram.
i have read that amd chips run hotter then intel chips, which concerns me because i tend to have my laptop on for 12+ hours a day.
Includes 17-y0 laptop with AC adapter; Premier PC Support for life of PC and PC Treasures software digital download (ships separately)
Windows 10 Home operating system
2.5GHz seventh-generation AMD A12-9700P quad-core accelerated processor with 2MB cache, up to 3.4GHz
17.3" diagonal SVA BrightView WLED-backlit HD+ display with 1600x900 resolution
12GB DDR4 SDRAM
2TB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive
SuperMulti DVD drive
802.11ac Wi-Fi
Bluetooth wireless technology
Radeon R7 graphics
DTS Studio Sound with dual speakers
HP TrueVision HD webcam with digital mic
Full-size island-style keyboard with numeric keypad
Touchpad with multi-gesture support
1-year Microsoft Office 365 Personal subscription
Four-cell lithium-ion battery
thank you
