I have been told way too many things from "experts". Things like the A-8 will make the graphics for bf3 20% better in the frame rate department. I don't believe it for a second. I am only going to playing games and basic aps on my laptop. I know the i5 is a better chip on paper, but if the A-8 can really up my graphics then it might be worth it. I am just very skeptical. the gup will be a 560m 2gb. not even sure cross fire will work with it. seriously jut confused.

The A8 integrated GPU is better than Intel's integrated GPU. That doesn't matter in this situation. The 560m won't be crossfired since it isn't an AMD GPU, so the integrated won't be used at all. It comes down to a better CPU, and the i5 is a better CPU.

Kind of baffled by the situation though, is someone pairing a laptop model with an A8 and a 560m?

Like I said "expert". A local computer shop. I'm going to buy a sager to avoid confusion like this.
