    Have you taken a look at this thread, there's some sound advice and good bargains on it.
    But I would try for something with an i5 processor over amd in any case.

    If you want to spend up to €500, don't settle for enything less than a Core i5 processor. Even a Core i3 processor is far superior to the 2 models you have linked, and they sell from €360 if you buy online.

    A Pentium or AMD Fusion processor is a No-No. Don't get blinded by the 6 GB RAM. System memory is cheap enough and easily upgraded. But with a poor processor you'll be stuck forever.

    Passmark CPU Scores:

    AMD E1-1200: 717

    Intel Pentium B960: 1911

    Intel Core i3-3110M: 3050

    Intel Core i5-3210M: 3850
