“Man, I don’t know what to do without my computer. What am I supposed to do about gaming?” my son asked me Friday night, after I had taken the computer in for repair, only to discover a fried motherboard. I gave him a list of things he could do, including chores, which he seemed less than thrilled about. Instead, he decided to research his replacement computer, as the Geek Squad told him, although they would check on repairs, he would probably have to purchase a new one. While we were at Best Buy, my son decided to browse through the computer section to see his options and stumbled upon the new AMD FX APU – HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop, designed to provide extreme performance of AMD’s most powerful mobile processor and deliver an exceptional Gaming and Entertainment experience. I’ll be honest, I wanted him to have an excellent laptop because he uses it for school work. He’s also going away to college in the fall and needed a dependable laptop. Plus, I have an HP Envy and love it.
Here’s what I like about the new HP Envy:
The AMD FX series processor lets me quickly stream Youtube videos, meaning more time spent singing aloud to my family. (I’m not sure they consider this a plus, although the processor provides great video quality and award winning graphics for gaming, making it a win in my son’s eyes.)
TouchSmart Technology makes it easy to find any programs we need quickly, allowing us mega-multitasking ability!
The new FX APU powered notebook has the processing power of 10 compute cores (4 CPU + 6 GPU)**! I’m not sure what this means, but my son, the PC gamer extraordinaire, assures me this is what I want.
You can pick this up in store, or order online, where you will receive free shipping on orders over $35, or pick up in store. Now that I think of it, maybe I need the new computer instead of my son? Works for me! I can hint I need this for Mother’s Day. Do you know someone in your life who needs an AMD FX APU – HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop?
I love my HP products. My last HP laptop lasted for years. I will have to check out the Envy Touchsmart Laptop.
Perfect… perfect gift for ME. I would love this.
I would love to give this to myself for Mother’s Day. LOL. I guess that’s not the point of gifts, right? I love the idea of a keyboard and touchscreen.
