@ssk_the_gr8 will be interested in this: HP 4445S ProBook. AMD Dual Core A6 2.7Ghz || 4 GB DDR3 || 4 GB DDR3 || Free DOS || Anti-Glare Display || no discrete GPU || 2 x USB 3.0, 3 x USB 2.0 || 2.04 kg

No pricing but expected to be around 30k. Maybe 28k also.

It has 3 years warranty. Shouldn't it be like 32k

Too good option.

AMD's pricing is always low compared to Intel, so A6 < i3 and i guess 2yr warranty is standard now (1+1) so won't expect more than 30k, though 32k should be the launch price.

^^ Today i saw this laptop in ezone (pantaloons). The price was 32.3k . At its side, it A8 based brother retailed at 32.9k. I wondered why will anyone pick the A6?
But i also a label on that laptop which mentioned dual graphics but wasn't able to check this through device manager as it had a password screen lock.

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

I'll be buying in Dec so it should be 30 by then

Btw 32k launch price I guessed was right

Wondering what ASUS is doing,regarding AMD Trinity based laptops?

Are they sleeping or uninterested or keeping an ace hidden in their sleeves?Only to show up in their PROPER TIME.

FK's pricing is out. 32.8k. not bad but should fall to 30k level soon.

ASUS might launch Trinity based laptops on November or so...they will emphasise on Pre-Christmas Sales...

This one : Asus R500N-RB81 (R500N-RB81) AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU for Notebooks with AMD Radeon HD 7640G Graphics 15.6inch 8GB RAM 750GB HD Windows 7 Home Premium Details is a hell of a laptop,priced at $596.99 which is Rs.31633.93 + Central Excise + Sales Tax + ...(~ Rs.37,000/- + approx.) and is only sold through mwave(U.S. online company).
Wonder why this laptops are never available in India?
Dirty Business politics and likewise from the competing manufacturers,along with shoddy Govt. policies.
This laptop would have been a good hit if available in India.

new Trinity laptop has showed up at FK: HP Pavilion G6-2201AX. Ships with Windows 8 but everything same as 2005AX. priced at 35551. But without any of the offers.

Another laptop appears: HP Pavilion G6-2010AX. More ram @ 6GB, 1TB HDD & finally no Windows i.e. DOS. So should be priced at same as 2005AX.

Time for slimbook: Lenovo Ideapad S405 (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph).
AMD A8-4555M @ 1.6Ghz (ULV processor i.e. 19W) FK says the clockspeed is 2.4Ghz which is achieved only under turbo.
AMD 7640 + HD 7450 (strange combo)
14.0"
Windows 8
500 GB
4GB ram
4 cell battery (this is will hurt)
2 x USB 2.0 (no USB 3.0)
2.6 kg (really heavy, take it with a grain of salt as info can be wrong here)

good work Sam

 

[Piyush]

So the only difference between HP Pavilion G6-2201AX and 2005AX is Windows version?

 

[coderunknown]

according to flipkart, yes.

Well seeing this configuration from ASUS I think a lot of ASUS fans who have been waiting for a cheap trinity laptop would be pretty much disappointed because there's no justification for such an average product without a dedicated graphics card and without an OS .. the only positive it offers is the gigabit LAN but that's not the priority for budget users ..
I frankly think a lot of manufacturers have noticed the high demand amongst AMD Trinity notebooks which offers flexibility between normal processing and graphics handling without burning a hole in our pockets .. Now the manufacturers are playing the trick by shooting up the prices because at the end of the day the laptops are getting sold at decent rates to the end-users .. But it's just a matter of time till the over-ambitious marketing strategy backfires and may completely ruin the reputation for a certain brand being remembered for it's specialty of delivering to user satisfaction .. Not to blame the new HP models and Lenovo have also been priced way too high .. Once the first trinity laptop from HP which was selling at about 31k in the market a good 4 months back is now trickling down to 32k barely after prolonged searching; quite unusual as few occasions one would see prices go up .. I would advise laptop buyers to foresee the next few months before making a purchase .. This phase is likely to go well for the manufacturer ends rather than the customer ends .. Prices are likely to go down and options are likely to increase ..

What do you think Sam?

 

[coderunknown]

i said several times before, Asus will either price is lower or much higher than competition. I was right, but sadly it is the latter. Only way it can sell is if it gets priced same as the A6 based Samsung. Samsung even ships with Windows 7 Home Premium. Asus will have a really hard time making consumers accept this laptop.

HP 4445S ProBook (APU Dual Core / 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS): Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook

Same as the previously release HP 4445s but this has 2 gb ram so i guess it will be priced 1k less, around 31.3k.

btw, Sam i beat you to it
