Hello!

im eather gonna buy,

HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ak005no Processor Processorfamily Intel® Core™ i5-processor Processor Intel® Core™ i5-6300HQ med Intel® HD Graphics 530 (2,3 GHz, upp till 3,2 GHz, 6 MB cache, 4 kärnor)

or

HP Pavilion 15-ab102no Processor Processorfamily AMD Quad-Core A-Series-processor Processor AMD A10-8700 APU med fyra kärnor och Radeon R6-grafik (1,8 GHz, 2 MB cache)

Im going to use the computer for gaming and editing videos in sony vegas, they have different processors and im wondering which one is the best for me? It is also important that i can use it as many years as possible.

Thank you!

In general, I prefer Intel based computers, but in this case based on the specs you cite, the AMD model has better video and would be better for games. 

I am not even going to try to predict the useful life of either model because it depends on so many variables. Laptops now become obsolete in 3-5 years anyway even if they could last longer. 

But I did go look at the actual specs for the 15-ak005no and it does not show the Intel 530 graphics but the nVidia GeForce GTX 950M which would be way better than the R7 video in the AMD model so if that is correct, you should get the Intel model no question even if it is more expensive. The Intel processor model likely has switchable graphics which means it has both the Intel 530 and the nVidia.
