HP is the only company that really builds quality AMD laptops in a variety of lineups ... sad to see the ENVY line will not have an AMD APU. I have an Envy 15z with the A10. It is a great machine and a great value. Very sad to see that basically every AMD laptop will be a plastic hunk of junk.
That's too bad. HP (for me, at least) has always been mod-friendly with no upgrade issues ... from E-350s to Temash touchscreens and Richland mobiles - on both Win 7 & 8
'Ultrabook' zoom at half-price. I wonder if that had anything to do with it ??
