Go with the i5. Intel runs cooler and uses less energy (usually means charge lasts longer, but maybe by 10minutes or maybe by 30minutes). It's a laptop so heat can cause a ton of issues like a failed hard drive, CPU fan (saw it happen a lot) and in rare instances the CPU itself.
I love AMD, but regardless what the add says, it doesn't support DDR4 yet. Their new processor architecture will (Zen platform). Also, the "graphics card" mentioned by someone else is false. The A10 is an APU with a couple more graphics cores on it. It does not have a dedicated graphics card. Also, the extra l2 cache is good, but when on a 5400rpm hard drive it means absolutely nothing.
Expertise: Worked Geek Squad for 5 years fixing computers and selling new ones. Plus I've built a countless number of desktops and upgraded them and laptops more than I care to count.
