Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

After much research i have finalised 3 laptops :

HP Pavilion G6-2314AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com Cost Rs.33074.

Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3 (3120M)/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB AMD Radeon™ HD 8750M Graphics). Cost Rs.34197.

In I5 series:
Samsung NP350V5X-S01IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5 (3230M)/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB AMD Radeon™ HD 7670M Graphics Graph). cost Rs.39934.

Here i5 is costing me extra 6000 rs, with lesser graphics and less hard disk space is it worth it?

A comparision of the three is given in link : HP Pavilion G6-2314AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) vs Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) vs Samsung NP350V5X-S01IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph): Compare Computers: Flip

I am a moderate gamer and will use the laptop for multipurpose such as browsing, presentations etc. , hence i am more inclined towards 2nd option at present, What do you guys suggest? If you have any better suggestion than the three listed above within the budget of 42k, Please do suggest.
Thanks in advance for your efforts..
Go for Sammy -
The i3 one will suffice your needs also its more future proof in gaming than 7670m considering the fact that cpu bottlenecks are rare in most games. Btw is that Samsung model available with i5 i mean i5+8750m+dos if yes that'd be the most tempting offer!

+1 for sammy, hd 8750m at 34k and that too for an i3 3rd gen laptop is a steal. I think that laptop is well-built only drawback being no usb 3.0 ports available.

Whats the best way to get the thermal paste changed to something premium or say more effective. And add extra RAM modules ??
My notebook is under 3 years warranty , I don't want to void it by tampering the seal over the screws. But need to get the CPU temp. under control.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have been reading this thread with quite a long time and I fell in love with 2314ax. Finally, I ordered it on saturday and got it today. I installed windows 7. I'm really happy to have bought this laptop. But I'm having two problems:
1 no bluetooth driver
2 unable to open catalyst centre. It shows an error ' command line interface has stopped

Can anyone help me with the issue.

for all guys using hp amd laptops (G6 series) the best cooling pad to keep your laptop cool to some degree is the deepcool multicore x6. my advise use the pad upside down thereby using the big fans at the lower end.

I have a Samsung NP355V5C-S05IN with similar specs.. Now what's surprising is that it heats up like crazy.. As the A8 4500M operating temperature is100°C and after that it is considered overheating. My laptop idles at 105°C and on a cold start it is 96°C don't know what the problem is.. After gaming and stuff it goes to 140°C.. Never seen it go below 90degrees.. Tried changing drivers formating but no good will be taking it to the Service Center tomorrow.. It's not even a month old. Anyone knows what could be the problem? I don't think my thermal sensor is spoilt cause I do feel the hot air.

not possible. laptop will shut down before it reach 105. using which monitoring software you checked temperature?

140 degree? /suicide
Dude change the app...its messing around with you..

once my laptop showed 100 degree after playing games for 30min. i was shocked as the readings were showing 100, but actually it was lot less as the vents itself were mild hot. My guess is around 65-70. This was with coretemp. I already know HWMonitor shows some wrong info not CoreTemp. Or it can be that the sensor in the processor is damaged or passing wrong reading.

Even I use coretemp and it shows crazy readings...reaches 98 degree easily while gaming and the cooler isnt proving itself useful either as the vents are on the side. Scumbag laptop designers...
