I would suggest you to go for the 2320TX simply because i5 3rd generation and a HD 7670M is the best combo for performance out of them. It will be the best laptop from the choices you mentioned. It will be good in handling games as well as any CPU intensive task.

Thanx for your reply shwetanshu
but as u have told that HP 2320TX is the best one, having HD 7670M.
So while reading the review of this model i finded a problem that in a review :
"IMPORTANT ISSUE: this is with all hp G series laptop, AMD radeon 7670m has a switchable graphics feature, by which you can assign dedicated and integrated gpu to individual applications,

ISSUE: OpenGL application will never use AMD GPU and will only use integrated hd 4000,

GAMES: TOMB RAIDER 2013 ( tried) wont use AMD GPU and will lag like hell.

DIRECT X games such as crysis, 2, 3 , nost wanted, will work nicely,

SO if u dont use OpenGL apps ( Adobe photoshop etc) or games then 5/5 (PERFECT LAPTOP)....."

* What this issue means regarding this model 2320TX.( can it handle adobe photoshop and openGl)>

* Also what is the difference between This model 2320TX and AMD APU Model HP Pavilion G6-2312AX regarding to there performance, does any issue in APUs. As i could save 2000-3000 indian rupees on G6-2312AX model.

Sorry for my bad english.

Both NVIDIA and AMD use switching technology nowadays if the processor has an inbuilt GPU. The problem he mentioned must have been a driver issue (Old drivers) or a settings fault(Power Saving mode in catalyst will enable the inbuilt graphics card). You can find many videos of people playing Tomb Raider on HD7670M.

4600M on paper is a good CPU but when it comes to real world benefits i5 beats it by a good margin. So if you really require raw CPU usage (image rendering etc) i5 would be a better option. But in gaming both the CPUs will be equally good .
