acer 4710z v/s acer 4520

[gurujee]

One of My friend is going to buy a lappy this diwali. Since I heard acer's price reduced recently and also I am currently using acer 4710z, I recommended him to go for acer because it is very good value for money.

Now his requirements are only watching DVDs, listening music, internet and sometimes TORRENT. So i suggested him to get a acer 4310(Celeron) but since he is buying he wants to make the purchase futureproof to some extent. So suggest 4520 or 4710z. for What he should go for ??? Whenever I think of AMD processors, I dont feel good. Thats why I am asking....

here is config of both-
