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.

I am the night...I am...
^^ 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.

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.

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?

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
