AMD is coming out with new cpus whose codename is called Llano. These cpus have already shipped to the big name manufactures such as HP, Dell, etc, but it takes a couple months before these people will then release laptops based off those cpus.

The big deal about Llano is that it has a dedicated graphic card built on die with the processor, thus allowing these computers to be cheaper than computers with a similar speed graphic card (since it is 1 part instead of 2_. While we haven't seen any reviews of this cpu/gpu combo yet we do know amd is called the cpu the A8-3510MX and the gpu the 6620m (so assuming AMD naming scheme is logical which it is not always that case) the graphic card should perform between these two cards.

So in other words don't be surprised that the cpu and gpu perform similarly to this laptop

And it may occur at a cheaper price.

I would also recommend watching the website slick deals.

Actually Cyberpower has several options at the 1000 mark Zach - 25/04/2011 10:19:26 PM 664 Views
First, will you explain why you want a gaming laptop? Aemon - 25/04/2011 10:17:22 PM 547 Views
To add to Aemon's point Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:20:47 AM 638 Views
One last thing Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:42:33 AM 557 Views
some of us just don't want a desktop LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 07:33:05 AM 555 Views
Which is fair enough, I just think it's an unusual viewpoint. Aemon - 26/04/2011 06:14:58 PM 528 Views
I'm special. I effectively tank with a touch pad. LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 11:24:17 PM 522 Views
Ah, you're one of THOSE tanks. On behalf of WoW players everywhere, I hate you. Aemon - 26/04/2011 11:34:06 PM 516 Views
What do you mean I'm one of THOSE tanks? I don't key-turn! LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 06:40:54 PM 494 Views
Pretty sure that consistent touch pad use would give me carpal tunnel. *NM* Zalis - 27/04/2011 02:19:09 PM 236 Views
Here is a great website to help with gaming laptops Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:12:48 AM 719 Views
I got a gaming laptop about a year ago beetnemesis - 26/04/2011 05:09:54 AM 552 Views
much appreciated... KingGeedorah - 26/04/2011 10:36:22 AM 553 Views
Sounds good. Keep in mind that buying a low-end laptop doesn't mean you can't game on the go. Aemon - 26/04/2011 05:41:07 PM 676 Views
A few words based on experience. Myrdhyn - 26/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 632 Views
It's not as bad as all that. Aemon - 26/04/2011 08:35:52 PM 684 Views

Definitely worth mentioning, but there's always something better just a couple months down the road. *NM* Aemon - 26/04/2011 07:39:33 PM 260 Views
Less than 3 months is very different than 1 year later Roland00 - 26/04/2011 08:06:34 PM 562 Views
True enough. Aemon - 26/04/2011 08:49:07 PM 530 Views
