    Help with new laptop (CPU) selection, please.

    Thanks. What do you think about the HP brand? I have concerns because of some of the bad things that I have read about that brand.

    Thank you very much! Here is the link for the A10: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...hj%3Cbr%20/%3E How about the HP brand? Are they really as bad as I have been reading about?

    This is a wee-bit over my budget, but what do you think about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA29P1ZC0731

    Would you say that particular A10 CPU is "old"? I am not sure what generation that would be considered.

    Thank you for your response! Yeah, I am on it at lease 8 hours a day with multiple apps and browsers and browser tabs open. Sometimes, I need to edit pretty heavy files and often have many, many layers and multiple Photoshop new document tabs open at the same time.

    Help with new laptop (CPU) selection, please.

    Thank you for this! So, do you think that this will do what I need it to do? I see that the i7 is a dual core, but if it does what I need it to, I think it is a heck of a deal. And will the amount of RAM hinder the performance? The coupon code didn't work, though. Thanks, again.

    Thank you very much for your quick response! I thought that AMD was only good for gaming. If that is not the case, there are some pretty good AMD options out there for me to choose from. I don't know if I can post links, so I will just post these specs: HP AMD A-Series A10-5750M...

    New laptop help, please.

    Dohhh!!! I am really liking the Zenbook that you posted. I like the fact that it is 1080p and has no optical drive. Like you stated, I am going to have to either try to boost the budget or bite the bullet some where. Do you think that Zenbook's CPU will run what I posted in the OP? Thanks...

    New laptop help, please.

    Hello, I am in the market for a new laptop. My late 2008 MacBook Pro is showing its age and, in fact, I am really in fear that it will give out on me soon. It just shuts down randomly and I don't know how long it has left. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on laptops. I...
