Now I saw on notebookcheck that the AMD 8850M in terms of power is similar to the Nvidia 660m. So given that I'm happy with card i'm pretty sure the AMD will satisfy a friend of mine whos looking at a new laptop.
I found this laptop with good specs otherwise (The aforementioned AMD GPU, 6 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD) however the 1.6 GHz i5 processor kinda turned me off. Particularly because today is the time of >2 Ghz processors. But the new manufacturing process and haswell architecture may pull out some more power from this lower clocked processor but I dont know for sure.
So I just wanted to know, from any of you that has an experience with the processor or knows more about it than me, is it worth purchasing a laptop built with this CPU, because the Graphics are fine and at the price steam like a steal, but the CPU you know.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
