Depends solely on what the cost is of competitive products I don't like craptops with HDD's and 768p displays, even if they have i5 and dgpu.It would be ridiculous to buy a Carrizo 8700P for prices more than 600 euro / 650 dollar. For that money, you can grab the first i5 + dGPU configurations, which are better across the whole board. So guys, please dont get too enthousiastic about Swedish crap which costs almost a thousand dollars.
So you want to exclude any non-CPU improvements from the start? The 15W market is not just about having max. MT performance or procentual gains.If you're in the market for 15w, take Carrizo-L. The A8-7410 is a smarter choice because it costs less. Interesting things about new silicon isn't the power envelope, but the procentual gains in performance. If you take Carrizo 15w, you don't have those performance gains. And it will have even less to offer when Skylakes i3s arrive.
And Intel is using nVIDIA to defeat AMD in everything. If Intel buys nVIDIA eventually is another matter.
AMD has nothing to offer anymore.
What kind? The MQ?Goodie, I can buy a lot of pos craptops.
I'll stick with buying one good laptop, thanks.
OK, it's even no prob to buy many good ones. But what for? What about those with laptop budgets < $300 (an arbitrary number)? Still the majority on this planet belongs to that group.Goodie, I can buy a lot of pos craptops.

He is rich so he can afford it. Meanwhile the rest of us have to buy in the range we can afford.

In combination with the impressive color-space coverage of 95.9% sRGB and 61.9% AdobeRGB, the panel is even suited for picture and graphics editing.
I wonder how the score for chassis is different yet they have the same chassis, right? Having had the 17 inch chassis in hand I can say that it's not really worth that high a score it's pretty flimsy.According to NBC, the tested HP :

Obviously there s tons of people who dont read reviews, they will generally buy the sister model that cost the same, but has no OS and only a 900p screen, and of course has an Intel CPU...:biggrin:

That config though not the colour and the keyboard is already available in Germany. Not yet in NL though.The photo of the dismounted laptop displayed on the article is actualy the one of the sister model...
Other than that they look to be available in Belgium as well...

Store is a french chain, so it shouldnt be long before they are also sold here...

Are you from France?
People already have the HP Envy(fx-8800p) in hand however it's locked to 15WAlready any word about FX8800p devices? Or at least 8700's with TDP up to 35?
Yup NL here too. I got my fx-7500 based notebook from Germany it was a bit of a letdown though. This time around the extra 128SPs actually make sense since the bandwidth bottleneck has been reduced yet they are impossible to come by. 500 euros for a 8700p based notebook with 15,6" FHD screen is not bad though. The only model that I really feel like is going to be great is that Asus X555DG but it's nowhere to be seen.That's a pity. You're based in the Netherlands too, right? My current notebook I imported from Germany, usually their offers are better than ours. Par example; Lenovo does offer less formfactors here than they do in other countries.
I'm still hoping for a 14 inch part with the FX8800p at 35w or the A10 8700p at 35w plus a dGPU in DX Dual Graphics config...
15" inch carrizo starting to appear in Italy as well.
Unfortunately it's 768p

Yeah, but the price is pretty competitive! Is this still the 15w model? Because it has a turbo of 3.4 GHz..
It's the same price as the one in Germany which has a FHD screen. However that one in Italy has Windows installed while the German one hasn't. Thing is pre installed bloat/spy/mal-ware windows is the worst so I don't think it's a huge pro.15" inch carrizo starting to appear in Italy as well.

But then you should include a windows license so price isn't the same. Which is normal given different panel,I think
