Entry level laptop: core i3 or amd a6?

Well, here's a review - http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/laptops/373252/acer-travelmate-5760

and a few words from it;"...weren’t keen on the placement of the trackpad; it’s too far over to the left, which makes it harder to type. The keys themselves are so flat, with so little travel, that typing feels awkward. Sound is also very tinny and the DVD writer so noisy that it’s impossible to use any DVD-based content without wearing headphones. "

Prices vary a lot; there are several versions.
