I'm in the market for an entertainment laptop (playing dvds, running iTunes, browser games, etc...).

Seeing as the price for i5 & i7 Haswell equipped notebooks is prohibitive for me (I could build an m-itx box for the price of one), I was wondering if AMD A8 & A10 equipped laptops are a reliable alternative for my purpose?

Thanks for your time.

And they say you can't put a price on love. :D

Well, said laptops I suggested in the $400 - $500 range were seen on Amazon and eBay. You should be able to get quotes if shipping and customs fee is a concern. Otherwise, if you feel okay with the G510 and it's at a local retail store, the price is decent for the specs.

Welp... it's a "gift" from my wife, and she's stipulated that it can't be more than $1000 (Canadian). The main issue I'm running into, is that it has to be purchaseable in a physical store... we don't have the means to pay over $500 online.
