AMD A8-3850 & Gigabyte A75M-UD2H Review

[Lollipop]

I nearly got one of those but chose the bike haha. I live 2 miles from the sea and being an avid fisherman the choice was simple

Thing is mate, right now you can get a Dell 15" laptop for £350 on PC world with a dual cored Pentium in. Thing is, not only are those dual cored Pentiums about £70 but they then have to pay for a GPU to put with it..

I seriously reakon that they could bash out a 10" laptop with the Llano in for less than £300, if not £250. And for that kind of power pushing, say, 800x600 it would probably be able to run any game.

Hybrid xfire anyone? on a 1366x768 screen that would be overkill

It doesn't work too well sadly. Been tried, failed. Same as Hybrid SLI. Both were done and then disabled due to being rather poo

I got mine simply becase it was way better than what my school offered me (I've been using it for the last two years now). The HDD degradation is horrific though

I'm probably going to ditch it when it breaks down, or maybe use Ubuntu on it to preserve its life. Completely erasing the disk may be an option. I'm sure this stuff will get cheaper anyway

Does it use the memory drive thing then?

Yeah my Asus EEE thing had a 4gb one in and it degrades pretty darn quick

Sad part is they're likely not TRIM capable nor could it be implemented

I might just replace the disk with a new one if I cba. Needs a bloody good clean though, the CPU hits 70degC with ease, and this is an AMD
