CPU determines how well the computer will process information run programs , GPU determines how well it will display graphics particularly important for playing games . ~~ The E 27110 has about twice the capability as the Pentium N 2540 . ~~ How the two compare for CPU performance 2408 cmp % 5 B % 5 D 2628 , the E 2 has a slight advantage . However the R 2 has twice the performance of the Intel HD graphics . Anything that runs through a web browser google , youtube , email , facebook , etc will work fairly well on both systems , but the E 2 should do it faster . Games on the other hand are really not either systems forte . Civ 6 will probably not run on either system , Minecraft should work on both but once again it will be better on the E 2 system with the R 2 graphics run fastersmoother . Neither of these laptops is really meant for gaming . Edit for claritycorrection .
