Everything depends on what you are going to use.

I am a computer specialist and as much as it hurts to say since I am a fan of AMD for years. The Intel products are generally slightly better performers. The only drawback is their onboard video is not nearly as good as what laptops based on AMD CPU supply but the artists are better in terms of its category. That said. Go with Intel unless the price difference between the two is over $ 200 USD.
