Ive been laptop hunting lately and Hp has a nice selection on its site and im in for a new laptop. My budget is around 750 +/- 50 (without tax) and I like the "HP Pavilion dv6z-7000" on the site. My thoughts are around the gpu, i want a good one. im not exactly a gamer but i do game from time to time and i never really do cpu intense things except for game. anyway the decision for me is this an: AMD Quad-Core A10-4600M paired with a 2GB AMD Radeon HD 7730M. and the other option which is a 2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M paired with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR 5 video memory.
A10 (http/www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A10-4600M-Notebook-Processor.74065.0.html)
i3 (http/www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i3-2350M-Notebook-Processor.53423.0.html)
AMD 650M (http/www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M.71887.0.html)
NVIDIA 7730M (http/www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7730M.72678.0.html)
I think the 650M is better then the 7730M but im not sure if im even going to push that to its limits if i pair it with only an i3. If I get the AMD A10 maybe ill actually get a well rounded laptop while using AMDs 7730M. Both GPUs are great IMO but im not a fan of having an i3 and its a whole $75 to bump that up to an i5.... Your thoughts?
btw, If youve seen a decent laptop with a good gpu such as these please throw in a link, id love to see it. Ive looked at all the major electronics companies and cant seem to find anything better then what hp is providing.
