That's even worse I was just saying intel hd graphics fucking blow. A good laptop has a carrizo A10/FX APU or an intel processor + dedicated GPU.

What the fuck would be to the point to have so much power on the run but giving up mobility?

That simply isn't true. Modern Carrizo APUs have a TDP of 15 watts and would offer great battery life on laptops. I think GPUs whether integrated or not are an important component of a laptop because they can be used for other things beside vydias (ie hardware acceleration).
I will admit that the first APUs released weren't that great. My A10 trinity laptop will only give me 2-3 hours of battery life if I lock the processor at 1.8GHz. But modern APUs are a lot better now.
Point is if you're gonna blow money on a laptop then it might as well have a good GPU.

I love this anon KEK!
what would be a good budget for a laptop dedicated for university and some super light gaming?
like the old final fantasies and csgo and other indies
I use the HP 15 notebook, is it shit?
>>54228146
One with an APU.
Why are ARM laptops all cloudshit garbage?
>>54228125
Hardware acceleration is done not through OpenCL, but through ASICs or similar on the chip.
Recent Atoms can hardware decode h265 far better than a Maxwell dedicated mgpu.
>>54228175
Because ARM is cheap, yet the price of the chip is not the greatest cost to a laptop.
In order to keep it cheap you cut down on other costs. For example durability, keyboard, screen, storage, build quality.

>Carrizo APUs have a TDP of 15 watts
These barely reach i3 performance. Besides TDP itself doesn't say a lot about battery life. Intel try to idle as much as possible and it shows. Though in a way it's hard to compare because nobody put Carrizo in a respectable laptop yet.
>hardware acceleration
Which ranges from "oh, nice" to "irrelevance" for the tasks performed on a mobile device.
>Point is if you're gonna blow money on a laptop then it might as well have a good GPU.
>"If you're going to blow money on a sports car then it might as well have enough space to fit your entire family inside."
Most people using a laptop only need enough performance to drive a high res screen, giving up mobility for performance on a device which main selling point is mobility, doesn't make any sense.

>yet the price of the chip is not the greatest cost to a laptop.
You sure? Decent Intel chips are about 200-300 bucks. Only a screen can be more expensive.
>>54228183
So can carrizo APUs.
>"That’s important in two scenarios: with HEVC-encoded movies that a Carrizo laptop is streaming, or for travelers who may download a few HEVC-encoded movies to their laptop. In both, you’ll get far more playback time with a Carrizo laptop compared to a Kaveri laptop—AMD looped the public “Big Buck Bunny” movie on a 15-watt FX-8800P and eked out 9.5 hours of HD video playback."

Not only that but they are HSA 1.0-enabled which means:
>"Adobe Premiere CC, tuned to take advantage of AMD’s hardware, runs 6.5 times faster than a similar Kaveri chip, Adobe Photoshop CC can run up to 17 times faster. AMD also claims that using the “Smart Sharpen” tool in PhotoShop, an AMD FX-8800P chip is about as twice as fast as the Intel “Broadwell”Core i7 5500Uchip Intel launched in January."

That's pretty cool but what AMD laptop got a decent enough screen to use with PS? Who still uses PS with Windows?
>you’ll get far more playback time with a Carrizo laptop compared to a Kaveri laptop
Pretty irrelevant. How does it compare with an Intel chip? 9.5 HD video playback doesn't say shit.
>>54227606

Not all "gayming" laptops are bad, the dell inspiron 7559 is pretty good

>Most people using a laptop only need enough performance to drive a high res screen, giving up mobility for performance on a device which main selling point is mobility, doesn't make any sense.
How would using a 15 watt Carrizo APU vs 15 watt i3 mean you would be giving up "mobility". You're not making sense.

bruh
>>54228482
What about the battery they used it with? The screen + settings? That shit play a much bigger role than the CPU.
I could easy get 15h+ out of my Retina Macbook or 6h depending on screen brightness alone.
