This would be bought from a friend for 60k(Second hand). Please i have heard about how AMD laptops get hot quick and spoil more easily, Am i making a wise decision? And is that price worth it considering it is second hand, What is the new price BTW? Some key features is the 8GB Ram, Core i5, Quad core etc Please if you think the laptop is bad suggest another type and explain the downside of such. Thanks.

HP is a no no for me especially AMD. Dell all the way.

60k is quite expensive for a low end apu powered AMD laptop. just my opinion bro. Manufacturers opt for AMD apu because it makes them capable of producing cheap laptops.

Hmmm, Can you suggest any alternative? I think the new ones goes for above 100k.

An A6 powered AMD laptop for 100k is outrageous. such technology is used to produce affordable laptops.

I am still searching for the price of this specific model anyway. This is HP official website, AMD A6 5200 laptops goes for as high as $620. That's like 123k in naira.

AMD and their APU offer decent graphics if your a heavy graphics user but from experience I think you will get the usual AMD heating issues though not as high as the regular AMD CPU.

my Advice: cross reference the systems model number on ebay so that you can have an idea of how much the used one cost.

Thanks.

Thanks.

AMD is not built specifically for this region but for cold regions aside from its low budget




You can get a solid core i3 for that budget





Visit my thread with your specs and I will see what's achievable

Call or WhatsApp 08089657971 and I will give you an hp envy with core i5 for a few quid above your current budget

am so damn sick and tired of people ranting about amd a-series apu running hot without a valid claim to it, op i use hp Pavilion g6 amd a6, runs fast as hell coupled with a 6gb ram and a dedicated 7670m gpu, u don't want me to start counting how many games i have finished on dis pc, it's 2yrs old now and d battery still last me 2hrs+, if d laptop doesn't have any known issues/fault by all means go for it, to be sure you are making the right choice check users review on the laptop at Amazon or any popular e-commerce store to get a better review on the laptop.
