Which one would perform better for light 3D modeling , and After Effects Editing?

I hear Athlon is better but at 2.2 Ghz.

So should I get Laptop A:

• Processor
  AMD Athlon™
• Processor Speed
  1.6GHz
• Cache Memory
  512KB on die Level 2
• System Memory (RAM)
  3GB
• System Memory (RAM) Expandable To
  4GB
• Type of Memory (RAM)
  DDR2
• Graphics
  ATI Radeon HD 3200

Or laptop B:

• Processor
  Intel® Celeron®
• Processor Speed
  2.2GHz
• System Bus
  800MHz
• Cache Memory
  1MB on die Level 2
• System Memory (RAM)
  2GB
• System Memory (RAM) Expandable To
  8GB
• Type of Memory (RAM)
  DDR2
• Graphics
  Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M

These two are the best i can do at the moment, money is tight and I need something soon. Hard drives on both machines are okay.

Hi gabby64,

Welcome to TSG!

Get laptop B, i.e. for 3D modeling you will likely need a large cache which it has vs laptop A, and the memory is expandable which is the cheapest way to improve performance.
