AMD processor in laptop

yes. But usually it have more detail then mulit-core and 1GB high performance video card.

Yes, just be sure to allocate 1GB of memory in your BIOS to be used by the APU (the on-board video) in order to meet the requirements.

How do I do that? I am not experienced at all. Is it something thta can be done when I purcchase it?

When you power the system on, you usually press the DEL or F2 key to enter into the BIOS. There you will find options to configure your on board video, including how much memory to assign for its use. Adjust as needed and then save. That's it.

Good luck!

Thank you very much. Do you have a preference in Brand between HP Acer and levono

Thank you ! any preference between Lenovo HP or Acer?

I would rank them in this order:

1. Lenovo
2. HP
10. Acer

I made Acer #10 to indicate how I feel about them. I am not impressed with their products nor their support after the sale.

Your call. Good luck!

I would go for HP i guess it has better customer care..............  

HP makes pretty decent stuff and often for a good price. Way better than Acer. Good choice.

Yup very good value for money and sometimes the compromise on the build quality is more prominent in HP through weighty devices and a tad bit lower grade displays(in terms of colour saturatioin, viewing angles...)

Well on my acer 5930g I got it cheap nearly 4 years ago in jan 2009 and for £330 and the touchpad was not working. Got a new one fixed despite having no warranty but acer said soon as it is a new machine we will change it for free. I also got a couple of copies of windows 7 I bought. Anyway don't think of acer as there crap machines before 2007 but the new gestone styles are great.

I used dell latitude, thinkpads, elitebooks etc but this acer I have great performance and sound and is the only one of the few computers not to mess up. Also they keyboard is one of the best. As long as you buy a premium model not cheap one you get high quality product.

Anyway hp are the worst consumer line pavillion range etc brand ever. I used a dv5 and it was shocking. it was a blu ray one with 9200m gs and p8400 and it overheats like crazy. Its discusting to touch. Also had dv2000/6000 and they feel like they could break any second easily and one stopped turning on or resetting itself as well as hanging etc because the computer is made rubbish.

Elitebooks on the other hand are great.

To the op, what is the software you are looking to run needing 1gb graphics card. You may need one of them amd cpu with dual graphics with 1gb memory.

Hi  

The last poster has a VERY good point....

The software may NOT accept an A8/A10 as its NOT a card.... !!

You really need to ask the software manufacturer that question BEFORE YOU BUY A LAPTOP....

All the best Brett
