I got one 17.3 too. Let me install my extra samsung 128GB ssd to it. How big is your ssd?

haha got the 128gb Kingston hyperx 3k for 50 bucks on here

That low clock speed is a joke. And don't tell me that clock speed doesn't matter because it does.

For this kind of price is a good deal .. Also CPU can boot up to 2.4Ghz. .. can't ask for more...

Why it is thumb down? Can anyone explain, please!
Thanks,

Its processor is equivalent to Intel Pentium B970. How is its audio? Is it good? I think I might buy it to replace my HP DV7-6b63us i7. I only use for web browsing and no need for a heavy budget HP DV7-6b63us.

I believe I got the same as you did back in August, it looked brand new and even came with the restore CD which per the description it was not included. So far is being good except the wifi dropping once in a while, none of my other laptops/tablets drop wifi.

Download the unofficial wifi driver at atheros.cz fixed my wifi issue now runs rock solid.

The A6-3420M is an OUTSTANDING value especially when you can find them for <$300.

The A6 Mobile CPU's are overclockable using K10STAT, you can really tweak the performance if you know what your doing. You can undervolt it at idle speeds and set single core turbo speeds up to 3.0ghz (The max all 4 cores will do is 2.4ghz).

Here's a link if your interesting in tweaking this CPU: http://arstechnica.com/civis/view...&t=1160289

And the 6520G GPU is quite capable, it outperforms Intel's HD2000/HD3000 igpu. Basically only the newest HD4000 or discrete gpu's can beat it.

rep'd for being a hardware-nazi

take another $20 off with code X420
