I'm looking at buying a laptop for school. It will mostly be general purpose for homework and notes and what not. But since i live a decent drive from where i sleep i would like it to be somewhat capable for entertainment purposes. Such as movies/tv and playing games. I play a variety of games too so, just for an example, Battlefield 4 is a pretty nice looking game on low settings. So which would perform better? The only upcoming game i'm looking forward to is Dark Souls 2. How would that fair?

I know intel has better CPUs but i keep hearing about how the a10 has much better graphics. On the low end would i even benefit from a better CPU in everday tasks to make up for the lack of the APU's graphics?
Added (1). Also on another note, i looked up and remembered that in recreational use outside of gaming i tend to have a lot of tabs open in chrome. Usually at least one of them running media such as youtube playing music. So multitasking factors as well.
Added (2). Sorry, apparently that was an older version of the amd laptop. New one here http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-15-6-Inch-Laptop-59406417/dp/B00HIYA4F2/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
