i3m>A10 is games etc, i3m~A10 is multithreaded, i3u sucks.

Very clear then. can you help me find a lappy with i3m + 8730m(preferably) ???
But didnt dell give options to customise the parts ? I remember having done it once....:confused:

And also the other stuff like the fan control app(HP2313AX fan runs at full speed with storm like noise, can be fixed with a app, win 8 only).

you'll have to rely on 3rd party fan control apps that works better than HP CoolSense. CoolSense internal settings is fixed. you can't run the fan speed by %.

So I should get the 2313ax then ? What are the differences If the i3U is replaced by the i3M ?

i3 doesn't have turbo and now think a processor which will never exceed 1.5Ghz ever that also a dual core. no overclock.

8730M is only available with Dell. Others will jump once they run of out 7670M stock or do some sort of refresh. My guess is with the launch of Windows Blue they'll offer a new GPU.

But wont a 2.5 GHz Dual core i3 be at par with the A10 ?

Somehow after seeing the 8000 series GPU in Dell , i seem to be losing interest in 7670m.
And I dont mind Dell at all.

there are a few ones with GT640M. Only this GPU is on par with 8730M.



yes an i3 competes directly with A10. performance will be more or less same.

can you gimme a link of a 640m lappy under 40k ?? the g40m was simply brilliant !!
only nvidia gpus i found under 40k were stupid 630m ones.

Not possible.

So, conclusions till now:
640m not possible under 40k.
8730m available in a dell inspiron 15r but it has an ULV i3 proccy.
HP Pavlion G6 2313AX seems to match my requirements the best but it is supposed to have driver issues.

best possible option now seems:
i3M + 7670M

came across something interesting
it says 8000m series will not support dual graphics.

Most possibly they are right,. the architectures are different, you can't crossfire GCN with vliw, or vliw4 with vliw5.

But if the 8000 series are really that good , then CF wont matter , right ?
Besides , theres a laptop from Asus the N56DP with A10 +7730m .. Couldnt find it online.

Yeah, dual cf is a gimmick, won't work for 90% of games, a 7730m is a good GPU, but I doubt you could find it under 40k, look locally, my budget was 38k and I landed with i3+7670m.

That is why I am on the lookout for the Asus laptop I mentioned.

APU based on Trinity architecture won't support 8-series GPUs. Richland (3rd gen APU) will only support 8-series GPU.

if CF works fine in 8-series GPU (i am really feel next gen CFX will be broken too) it'll be even better.

I posted about this on Asus India facebook and twitter page. Will they reply? If it does launch soon does it make sense to go for it?

better wait for 8-series GPU or maybe Nvidia 640M to appear in sub 40k laptops. APU based laptop are not worth getting if the end price exceeds i5 + a decent GPU combo.

a while ago someone pointed to an Acer laptop with 640M under 40k. I don't have the link or even remember the name. look at acer india's site if you are interested.
