i'm currently planning on buy this awesome laptop, but it seems like some people from the "feedback" said that crossfire doesn't work, it's better to run it with a single card.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???

Its not an awesome laptop at all, and after all its refurbished. 1 gpu may get bottlenecked by the other gpu. Just buy it and see what happens. As said before its refurbished so do whatever you want.

it's an awesome laptop for the price range. Try to find a computer that has better spec than this computer for it's price. And sometimes refurbished is better because some people knows how to take care of their money. i mainly use this laptop for gaming! for a 500$ gaming laptop, that can play bf3 on median setting is pretty impressive, not including the BEAT AUDIO, and the BR player it has.
Anyway, you're getting me off topic here, i'm asking why? not judging on this laptop. If you cannot answer the question, don't bother replying this.
thanks.

I already said 1 of the gpu's maybe bottlenecked by the other one. I am also not sure if hybrid crossfire works anymore on the 6xxx series. But since it is a refurbished laptop you can't expect much out of it, things may work and things might now work.

the laptop link you gave me was actually really good, but for gaming... is it better?
HD 6750M > GT540M
6GB>4GB
520$>580$
640GB>500GB

but
i5-2430m > A8-3500m

It uses less power so longer battery life

APU actually uses less power for sure. AMD really went to eco friendly on their A-series
