          When I go to HN I was surprised to see the sticker prices and was wondering why their prices are always simply double from the prices in USA. May be this is why.. they might always be marking the price for 2 units not for 1. Then it's a fair price. Now I start understanding the pricing model in here.. lols :D

      AMD is a CPU manufacturer just like Intel.

          Yeah you can, just like how you go in and ask for one of the new Intel notebooks. You know. With that sandy bridge thing. And some extra Gbs.

        An average consumer needs to learn how to use Google.

        I think its really essential for people to identify the potential tool of a search engine in all aspects of life. Don't know how to floss properly? Same deal.

        Not trolling here. Although if everyone knew how to google-fu, we'd be out of jobs really… The non-specific ones like tech support etc.

      Apple don't use any AMD CPU's, so yes, they would be excluded.

    Even with 2 of these… well… price per laptop is probably okay… but 2 15 inch low end AMD laptops? I need to remind myself I don't need 2 more laptops which are slower than my slowest laptop.

        The specs (A, T) seem nearly identical. Hopefully someone can chip in with links to things like battery life etc.

        Is $250 a good price for these, though?

        • annoynimous on 14/09/2011 - 23:15

          not really, they are about market price value lol

      did you know HN online store is not right and some store have more laptops just saying. but yeah AMD is not that great as intel.

        thats like saying ferrari is not as good as lamborghini. One of them is always going to have an edge over the other and at the moment it is intel, few years back it was AMD.

          I don't recall AMD laptops ever being preferred over Intel. These will be getting cleared out to make room for newer kit around the corner with bulldozer being released. Dollar for dollar current gen Intel is the choice over these AMD laptops, even at a 2 to 1 dollar ration, Intel would make more sense, with these AMD laptops your buying a year old spec machine (if not older).

        • mikk on 15/09/2011 - 12:47

          amd is more like gm/chevrolet/holden while intel is like ferrari and porsche

      if you print out price online, most would honor it.

      Try to get an HP with their 40% sale, got quoted a higher price, advise them of the web price and they said would sell at web price.

      would be a good idea to do so today in case they jack up web price also!

      • cruXis06 on 14/09/2011 - 18:19

        The $498 price applies to a netbook.. there aren't any laptops on their site for this price, so I'm guessing netbooks are also included.

      • issh on 14/09/2011 - 18:46

      True, I just did a quick search on AMD quad core processor and it seems that the cheapest quad-core amd on HN is not nearly as good as a dual core i5.

        I was thinking of getting the AMD Dual core one for $598 but now doing some reading these are not that great compared with i3 which is proberly the lowest cpu I would buy…. not sure to get this deal or not now…

          I think you should hold out. Especially with Windows8 on the horizon. I had my eye on the Asus Quadcore, but after some research, found that the cpu blows (even though the graphics was good).
