HP PAVILION G SERIES LAPTOPS NOW AVAILABLE WITH AMD CPUS

The newly launched HP Pavilion g series consumer-class budget notebooks are now available with AMD processors. Previously they were only available with Intel's processors.
The new Pavilion g4-1015dx, g6-la60us and g7-1075dx are all available with AMD's Vision-based dual core processors and Radeon 4250 integrated graphics.

AMD-based notebooks usually tend to be cheaper than their Intel counterparts, but that is not true in this case. The 15.6 inch g6-la60us with AMD Athlon II P360 2.3GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 320GB HDD is now available for purchase from Amazon for $530.94. The same model with a faster Intel Core i3-380M 2.53GHz processor, 4GB of RAM and a larger 500GB hard drive is now available from HP for $549.99.

The AMD models may not get the same battery life as their Intel counterparts, but they will offer significantly better graphics performance thanks to their Radeon 4250 graphics.
