Ouch, they put it under the WinRT yoga...which when you click on it says is no longer available... nice.

 

[Raftina]

I dont even see that model at all when I go directly to the Lenovo website. Is it maybe Europe only or something?

http://shop.lenovo.com/il/en/

il is Israel. Model availability will vary by region.

 

[monstercameron]

So Lenovo is where it's at for Carrizo...maybe if I unload my latest gadget I can pick one up...sigh.

There are other brands that will allegedly be selling Carrizo laptops, eventually. HP is selling a Win8.1 Carrizo AiO right now (8700P, ~$800):

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavi...lver/8835192.p?id=1219696698876&skuId=8835192

Currently listed as out of stock. The touchscreen version is in stock:

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...hdd-8gb-ram-windows-8-1-23-q009/10381816.aspx

. . . but that's $999.

That s the same AIO in both links but the latter offer at 999$ is cheaper than the former at 800$, all things being equal, of course...

 

[alexruiz]

The Yoga 14 says 1366 x 768.
If they indeed offer 1080p IPS in the 14in model, it is a decent machine.

M.2 SSD slot, backlit keyboard, 55WHr battery, 1080p IPS in a 13.3-14 in frame with a 8700P please

What is happening with the FX?
That A10 is figthing against i3 H.....

But the thing that matters are the FX.

Why no OEM wants to put the FX in action or a entry level gamer laptop?

Huh, so it is the same item. Wonder why they have it listed twice like that, at different prices. Weird.

Are you referring to the mobile FX chips like the FX-7500? That's a Kaveri, and that's basically old hat.

If you're referring to Vishera, you're quite mad.

Second offer is on their canadian site....

Price of the 15"6 1080p is the lower in Germany and east Europe where it is sold 550€ with W8.1 or 500€ without OS.

Still nothing at all in France while it s available in Malaysia or Saudi Arabia for instance, I thought it must be the keyboard but all thoses countries have also specific ones.

He is talking about the Carizzo FX-8800p

Prices are really rock bottom in the US, granted it is not the touch screen version but it has W8..

Member CJB at SA pointed that sleek Lenovos are also available in the UK.

Perhaps because the "FX" moniker has been emblematic of absolute failure in the minds of gamers ever since 2011?

Yes, in the past laptops where using BD FX CPUs, i guess that it s of thoses exact products that you are talking about because otherwise your post doesnt make sense at all...

The more informed, and even the totaly cluless, will still manage to get to the conclusion that the FX8800P is surely significantly more expensive than its smaller brothers, it is likely that the A8-8600P will also come sooner.

I post this just to stop this redundant and time consuming useless discussion about things emerging from missing information.

150€ more than the 1080p HP with a 8700P and W8, this latter also has a R7 360 instead of a R7 355DX...

Last time i entered in a Saturn shop was circa 2002 with a seller explicitely telling me that they had signed some contract that sounded illegal with Intel.

They later had to aknowledge all this in courts when the EU fined Intel 1.5bn€ for thoses practices.

A10 is Kaveri, not Carrizo, isnt it?


Edit: nvm, it is Carizzo, with less shaders than FX.

 

[Abwx]

A10 is Kaveri, not Carrizo, isnt it?

The same way i7 is Sandy Bridge...or was it Nehalem..??..

Quad-Core A10-8700P APU

 

[AtenRa]

A10 is Kaveri, not Carrizo, isnt it?

A10-7xxx = Kaveri
A10-8xxx = Carizzo

 

[Abwx]

A10-7xxx = Kaveri
A10-8xxx = Carizzo

To end any possible confusion, seems that it wasnt posted in this thread :

[el etro]

OEM response to Carrizo is better than to Kaveri.

Is a very good overall, but still not changes the game.

 

[Abwx]

According to Digitimes all OEMs are currently busy getting rid of laptops inventories bigger than expected due to the market lack of dynamism.

Only exception is HP they said, and that s surely the reason why they got the shorter time to market for Carrizo.

Meanwhile Toshiba s basic offering also start to show in Europe :

The reason was crazy, but... the biggest stock of laptops are... laptops based on tablet processors (Celeron N)
