    I have an option of getting a lenovo ideapad 310 with a quad core AMD a10-9600p or an i5 processor.

    What would you recommend is better. I would be mainly using it for browsing, some light Photoshop and InDesign and possibly a small bit of gaming, nothing too demanding though.

    i5 definitely. Also be aware that there are i5 ULV's (dual core) and i5 M models (quad core). A dual core i5 ULV should still be easily faster though. Neither would be any good for modern gaming with the integrated graphics though stuff like indie games, Counter Strike, Fifa, etc would be fine.
