Great laptop for everyday use

SAMSUNG Laptop Series 3 AMD A8-4500M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 7640G 15.6" Windows 8 64-Bit NP365E5C-S01US

Pros: 1. One of the best deals out there compared to similar priced i3 laptops 2. Powerful integrated GPU (BF3 720P low/med@30fps, Sleeping Dogs med@40~fps) and medium-level CPU 3. Memory expandable to 16GB 4. APU is future proof (Upgradeable to the next iteration), thus possibly supporting 1866mhz DDR3 5. You don't need Intel, no matter what everyone tells you.

Cons: 1. Trinity can't be overclocked and stays at 2.3~ghz most of the time 2. Low resolution display 3. Windows 8 4. Doesn't support 1866mhz DDR3 yet, thus bottlenecking the 7640g GPU...but it'd still be bottlenecked if it was running at 2400mhz DDR3

Overall Review: Present day graphics cards run off of GDDR5 memory. This GPU runs well on DDR3, that tells you what AMD is capable of.
