okay so we're looking for a laptop, and it has to have a AMD CPU and Radeon Graphics (my friend doesnt like intel) and they want to work with Radeon graphics too.

 

One idea was the new FX 7600P with a R7 M260, but i cant seem to find which make or model would be best with that build,

 

our budget would be about 600-900$.

 

 

Hey bro i like yo *vomits on you*

SpOOkY  - Intel Core i7 4820K - Sapphire Radeon HD 7970GHZ Toxic Edition 6GB - 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz - Gigabyte X79-UD3 - EVGA Supernova G2 850W

Okay, I guess the easiest solution would be an AMD APU-based laptop, but I think that Intel/NVidia is really the way to go here.

Sig under construction.

AMD is just not competitive in the high end laptop department now. Especially in terms of power usage and battery life. Other than that an AMD APU would do just fine. It has built in radeon graphics along with a good Processor.

R7 M260 is... quite lacking. It performs about on the level of a GT 730M, which isn't fantastic.

except for shitty APUs AMD do not making gaming laptops (as far as CPUs go)

 

You can get intel laptops with AMD graphics though

 

Why does he not like intel? their processors are much better for gaming on both laptop AND desktop

Probably cuz Intel is a cut-throat bully and bandit when it comes to competing with other companies. If you are not a millenial you should be old enough to have heard some of their past "strategies". There was a reason why lawsuits flew left and right around Intel and AMD back in the day.

 

Not too fond of Intel myself to be honest.

 

And its not like BETTER processors mean anything nowadays. Any processor from a year or two ago will be exactly as good as any of the most expensive processor anyway... for general use and non specific work AND gaming.

For the moment AMD's APU graphics do outperform Intel's iGPUs, but Intel are definitely getting better as time goes by.

If I'm already going for a power-hungry laptop honestly I don't like Intel for some reason either. They do definitely win me over for their ULV chips in Ultrabooks though, hence my i5 laptop

Except when using one or two cores, which many games do, a Core 2 Duo from 2008 performs the same as today's AMD FX.

I can tell you from experience that a q6600 is pure shit and lagfest compared to a FX 6core on am3+

 

 

Its all a fugazi bro... 

 

the only thing you need is a current gen processor of around 100$ and thats it, you cant possibly need anything more for gaming

I know, but I also don't politics and morals effect the performance of my PC, so they are dicks, they make good products, unless they start murdering children and kittens ,... I would probably stop buying the products if that happened

 

Of course better processors mean things, for those of us that do more than browsing the internet and a bit of gaming, if it can speed up my workflow or let me do things simultaneously or allow me to run a smaller quieter PC or many other things then thats important

 

If its no different maybe we should just stop creating new processors, im sure in 100 years a core 2 duo will be just fine to drive our 3d holographic wrist watch computers :D
