OH COME ON it's like you knew i got my tax back
Quite a nice entry level laptop and not a bad price for the specs.
This is a great deal!!
I brought my mum one of the one of the AMD A6-4400m on sale last week, it doesn't have a discrete graphics card though… but she does not do any gaming.
These new Trinty AMD APU's are pretty good, I tested her laptop and it plays CS-GO on med-high graphics @ 60fps on laptops max res. It also gets 40-80fps in WOW on most things on high settings.
If your just surfing the net, you can expect upto 5 hours with decent screen brightness and power.
Anyone bought this model (with the 7670M GPU) in previous deal before and comment on gaming performance, any heat issue, or can this able to handle Battlefield 3 at all?
"Although marketed as a dual-core processor, the A6-4400M includes only one module with two integer-cores and one floating-point core. As a result, the CPU is not a true dual-core processor."

For light use and a throwaway attitude (i.e. get a new one in 2ish years) this is a good deal. Also good for tight budgets.
For heavier use, or a computer you want to last a bit longer, go the NP350V5C-S02AU mentioned here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/80715
When I buy for my parents I always choose brands I know last the distance. That used to be Toshiba (I'm typing on one right now!) but perhaps Samsung will hold true as well. Time will tell.
Az,
I've tested this new trinty APU against the old Llano APU 3530mx chip in games.
No difference, even though its two cores integrated into one module "SHARES RESOURCES".
looks like a great deal :)
