I have purchased the first one and wanted the same but the second one is the closest they have for the price around $700. Is the second one as good as the first; I know very little about computers....

The major difference is the processor. One is an intel and the other has an AMD processor. Everyone seems to have an opinion as to which brand they like better. Also, the second commputer has a larger hard drive which affords more storage but the 250 hard drive should be more than sufficient.
