There are no disadvantages of AMD except the performance is lower than the Intel ones. I am using a AMD based computer from past 2 years, except low performance I didn't face any issues. But my choice in the future will be Intel for sure.

second that..get Win8 installed seperately if you want.

I do not know if Intel HD graphics 4000 is enough for playing games as told above.

AFAIK amd's integrated graphics ~3 times better than intel's hd 4000.
You wouldn't even require discrete Graphics for playing FIFA 12 at medium settings.

Looking for 3rd generation processors.

the hp laptop comes with the new APU's from AMD
All Trinity laptops will cost a maximum of 36k.
