Don't go by the Trinity reference laptop sent by AMD. Wait for better reviews cause that one was without dedicated graphics. This one have dedicated graphics so battery backup, heat, turbo will be affected.

The price is not bad. Wait a bit more and check for some more reviews :)

Drop the Home Basic & bag and one can have this laptop for 27-28k. Gaming laptop for 28k FTW :grin:
Seriously, i was not expecting Trinity so soon. Just was checking whats new in Flipkart when i spotted the A8 naming. Turned out its Trinity :razz:

Don't forget HD7670M may look like an uber class GPU but is actually same as GT630M i.e. midclass at best. Though the Xfire will match GT640M (i.e. GT550, 555M). But GT630 + 3rd gen i3 will easily beat this laptop but such a combo is hard to find and usually badly overpriced. Also Asus X53TA was offering similar config but with Llano proccy. Was best seller as it was priced at 27k. A8 from Asus at 27-28k is expected.

I see a lot of competition and pricecut. Also 3rd gen Core i5 (without dedicated graphics) is selling for little more offering tremendous value too. Was obvious A8/A10 will be priced below i5.

pricing is ok.
I think similar dos system will be at least 3k less.
I'm also curious as to what ASUS will offer.
So we can expect a6 around 25k then. :)

Rejoicing news Sam.
But let's wait for ASUS,Lenovo,Samsung.
Even if price is good,still HP sells products at premium when compared to other manufacturers.

True, Currently Dell Inspiron 14R is priced around 42k for 3rd Gen i5 + GT 630m which seems a bit overpriced. Hoping the current pricing for AMD trinity laptops will help the Intel powered laptop price cuts :) .

A6 is either Llano quad or Trinity dual core. performance at best will be close to 2nd gen i3. even if you manage to overclock it, i5 will be better cause of more cache and turbo.

in gaming:
Trinity (A8 or A10 specially): can run all games at mid settings.
Trinity + discrete GPU: can run all games at mid-high settings (X-Fire backfire at times).
Ivy Bridge: can run all games but at low settings.
Ivy Bridge + a discrete GPU: gaming laptop ;)

But if you are into simple doc editing or office stuff or simple multimedia task, IVB should offer more battery life as those are least demanding task but will cost more. at times lot more.

If you like tweaking (overclock, undervolt) Trinity is best. Cause you can apply all sort of tricks to extend performance as well as battery life. And actually you can grab a 30k Trinity (when launched) and after tweaking it a bit will match i5 in performance but the built in graphics can't be overclocked AFAIK so graphics performance will be same.

i think they come with Windows preinstalled & a few accessories. also Dell is overpriced a bit. so 42k is fair pricing. same model should be available from Asus in 38-39k (Asus best seller). But i'll like to see a better GPU. GT640M at least.

someone please release a 14 incher with no discrete graphics and my money is yours

Ultrathin from HP & Asus. can't expect this from Acer. Samsung is another company to look after.

BTW, i seriously want to see this kind of lappy ---> IBM ThinkPad 14" powered by A10 :grin:

Thanks Sam..:wink: You cleared almost all of my queries..
Now that I have finalized with Asus sx010D as my budget is 40-43K and ASUS had the value for money factor,with decent GPU and specs.But now with your statements and with the release of AMD trinity which provides great graphics+great batter life at lesser costs,made me confused as to which to go for..Should I wait for AMD trinity from ASUS or should i go with ASUS sx01D.:-?
My requirments: Decent gaming at med to low settings,decent processor (enough to handle adobe after effects),good battery life(3-4hrs)

there are/was a few but all are overpriced. Samsung NP305E4A-S02IN but the graphics combo is weak. though one gets some other goodies (1TB HDD & W7 HP).

Asus X43TA-VX052D was one but entered late and sold out way too fast :(

actually this is the wrong time of the year to buy laptops. Sure you'll find exciting deal with 2nd gen i5 + GT630M but if you can wait there should be even better deal. Specially similar priced config but with better display and keyboard. As i think you have already read that most sub-40k Asus laptops have poor screen.

Also it depends on your budget. A8/A10 based laptops won't sell properly if priced ridiculously high (above 35k) and as your budget is above 40k, wait for i3/i5 with better graphics (GT630 is no longer a fast GPU). Though you may have to wait, it should be worth it. And battery life varies from laptop to laptop. I have seen APU set record for best battery and break record for worst battery life ;)

Well Dell inspiron 14r Special edition is coming with GT640M/3rd Gen i5 for 51k Base model .Given the fact the GT640M is based on Kepler and GT630M on Fermi is the 8k difference between the two justified?
I think 3rd Gen i5 + GT640M @ 42k would be a sweet deal :wink:
