Hi and don't be suprised what kind of laptop you'll be buying thease days. I still have my old laptop HP AMD A8-4500M APU with windows 7 versus my newer HP AMD A10-5745 APU with windows 8 and a touch screen!
Im a little bit disappointed about it's performance. If I play the action game crysis on the A10 I noticed it was choppy and slightly a lot slower than my A8 laptop. Also you can't even boot from your CD DVD-drive after going into the bios. Thirdly you can't even take out your hard drive out. you would have to unscrew the whole unit to get to the hard drive. I think the HP A8 with windows 7 is the way to go over my new A10 and im giving away my A10 away as a christmas gift to one of my relatives. Thanks for reading this cause I sure learned a big lesson this time and a big one time mistake.
