I'm in the market for a new laptop that should be around or under the 800,000 won mark. I'm looking at three machines now, and I cant decide. I need some help.

1. Dell Inspiron 15R (N5521-W54M710KR)
i7-3537U Processor
4GB DDR3 RAM
750GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD
AMD Radeon HD8730M GPU
DVD
803,210 won on Gmarket.

2. HP G6-2203AX
AMD Vision A10-4600M Processor
4GB DDR3 RAM
1TB 5400RPM SATA2 HDD
AMD Radeon HD 76606 GPU
DVD
679,390 won on Gmarket.

3. Samsung Series 3 Notebook
This one is at HomePlus and I didn't write down the specs, so I'm not sure. I remember is has an i5 processor. Intel HD 4000 Grpahics. 750GB HDD. 8GB RAM. It was 799,000 won.

Any help on these three or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What I do is search Enuri.com and list things with a chosen cpu I expect (or another specification) , then further list those results from low to high in price.

I would also stick with intel on the CPU side. AMD cannot compete anymore. And that i7 cpu you listed is a powersaver, not a speed demon.

Use cpuboss.com to compare processors.

Never buy from a big box store unless you want to overpay.
