Better graphics or better cpu on a budget laptop [closed]

Which would have better overall performance on a cheap (~$600) laptop; Intel Atom 330 with Nvidia ion or intel Pentium/Celeron with Intel graphics. I don't need 8 hour battery life and will hopefully be using this for programming/web browsing and occasionally light gaming.

go with the better graphics solution... with the advances in graphic cards CUDA; OPENCL; DIRECT COMPUTE can be used to run your aplications even WINDOWS (areo) can run on your system without taxing your cpu...plus you have the option to overclock your GPU or CPU depending on your laptop...WITH a Nvidia graphics you will problably get a nvidia chipset which you can use nvidia system tools to overclock your FSB AND your GPU... so go with the budget laptop WITH THE DEDICATED GRAPHICS... you can't go wrong..
