hopefully this is not the final price ($800) way to much!

Agreed. I was thinking Trinity based notebooks were going to be in the $500 range.

For that kind of money I'd buy this: i7-3610QM, 4gb ddr3, gtx630m, 15.6" 1080p screen, 500gb hdd = $900

so spend $100 more give or take then.. but you want trinity for $300 less. please show me a $500 laptop that will get close to a trinity setup please. where are the power usage charts between those systems then? i bet the amd setup draws way less than the intel/nvidia one in that so called review.

This problem cannot be ignored. For 800 dollars you can get a core i5 or i7 with discrete graphics that exceed the capabilities of trinity on the GPU side and CPU side. Along with having much weaker branding than Intel in particular, they are not doing themselves any favors by pricing themselves so close to Intels and Nvidia based laptops. So either the partners are charging to much or the AMD is charging too much for trinity.

Regardless of how much you love and want AMD to succeed, against a Intel laptop with discrete graphics(from either company) with better performance, it has to be priced lower(much) because 90+% of the public will pick Intel at the same price point.

They need to undercut an Intel laptop by 15% plus because the performance delta is greater than that.

i totally agree! AMD definitely needs to undercut Intel,

unfortunately i fear AMD's pricing for their top tier mobile Trinitys will be high and very close to "comparable" Intel/Nvidia laptops.

im hoping thats not the case and this laptops price is MSRP and will be much cheaper when on sale

also people pointed out the review didn't do battery life tests

waiting for legit reviews
