Definitely worth mentioning, but there's always something better just a couple months down the road. *NM* Aemon Send a noteboard - 26/04/2011 07:39:33 PM
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.

Which is fair enough, I just think it's an unusual viewpoint. - 26/04/2011 06:14:58 PM 523 Views
I'm special. I effectively tank with a touch pad. - 26/04/2011 11:24:17 PM 515 Views
Ah, you're one of THOSE tanks. On behalf of WoW players everywhere, I hate you. - 26/04/2011 11:34:06 PM 511 Views
