In Android SDK manager, under Android 4.4.2 (API 19) package, there are two images: Intel x86 Atom System Image, as well as Google APIs (x86 System Image) I am wondering, what the difference between those two images is?
I'm working on Windows 7, using Android Studio and have Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM) installed.

The x86 Android* emulator system image enables you to run an emulation of Android on your development machine. In combination with the Android SDK, you can test your Android applications on a virtual Android device based on Intel Architecture.
A system image is used to create different Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) and emulate the different Android devices in common use. As developer workstations are usually Intel x86 based, the ARM instruction set had to be emulated as well.
x86 images run the fastest in the emulator. If you see Download next to the system image, you need to click it to download the system image.
what is the difference between those two images ?
The Google APIs one has Google Maps and the Play Services framework in it.
