Besides being just everyday computing you won't see much difference in any difference of the laptop models. But intel laptop cpu seems to do better in power management to keep the battery to the longest usage hours. Beyond that if your going to play game that is when the laptop will make more difference. But since what your going for is everyday computing the less expensive model will do but I would double check before buyig emachines...I would first look at the lower priced brand name models...and as anything check what is inside the laptop to see if it has what you want. Sometimes to cheap in laptop makes compromise in hardware configuration so look and read over and research your laptop.

If battery is an issue, then look for a CULV laptop. Acer's Timeline series for example, Asus offers a similar product range.
