    Post AMD A-Series APU laptop models/specs/prices in stock at ____ *work in progress*

    I think since the A-Series APU's are going to be a small hit, at least with some of the AMD guys in the market for a new laptop. I figured i'd throw a list together of known model numbers, with specs/pricing.


    So far all i've got is the DV6-6135DX, which should be $799 (best buy), A8 of some sort, 640gb hard drive, 6gb of RAM, at Best Buy. Battery life is advertised as 5 hours and 15 minutes. Once they come in stock, what should I do? any need for benchmarks/find out what speed the RAM is, anything? I could do full specs, MAYBE a benchmark depending on what it is/how much time I have :p Watch next weeks ad :x

    I'll keep this updated if you all wish. Otherwise, it might get deleted. :p

    I can keep track of Best Buy and possibly Micro Center stores, with their laptops in stock with the A-Series APU's. Chime in if you'd like (e-tailers?, fry's, futureshop, etc?)

    (i've got no life, and i'm curious on the specs--considering that DDR3-1600 performs so much better than 1333, and who wants a 5400RPM 500-640gb hard drive in a supposedly "quick" laptop?)

    I was just hoping to find the best buy all around in terms of quality, performance, etc. I know some of you guys are itching to get your hands on a new A8 laptop :p

    I'm assuming they have the A4 or A6? Yep. Just checked the website.

    Where are the A8's? Why are these all super low end models going for a good amount of money? There has to be something priced similarly that isn't a POS HP G-Series or a blue lid Toshiba.

    Now my thread seems to have a purpose. Finding a decent deal on a decently spec'd out notebook that might not be terrible (i'm very anti-HP, but I do work on them--so I have a damn good reason to.)
