I payed the price of the inspiron 5520
My questions are:
what is Radeon HD 8730M - because i couldnt find anything about it nor did i find driver?
Did i get the wool pulled over my eyes. did the store keeper pull a fast one over me (carffour store)?
So should i go and burn the store to the ground:mad:?
 
8730m is just rebadged 7730m. The CPU on the other one is slightly faster stock, but the turbo on the one you got is faster so no harm done there.
