Maybe the reviews I'm reading on intels 4600 graphics, are on cpu's that don't have the performance of the 4720hq. Maybe they will work fine....I will soon find out.

Well the laptop I have in process right now cost me $1100 usd, so I would like to stay around that. There are some requirements though.....as I have done at least a little homework. Windows 7, the little knowledge I do have on computers has been with windows 7 or earlier. I don't want to get...

I just spent an hour on the phone with HP trying to figure out if it was possible to add a different graphics card to this laptop. It's so hard to talk to someone who doesn't understand what I am asking. I got transferred at least 7 times, had to call 4 different numbers.....all I wanted to know...

Can you add a new card in a laptop? I did a little research and I read that you couldn't. But I didn't understand that because there is a option to buy this particular laptop with a separate card. So my thinking is that I could add a card. If I did add a card, do you think it would void my warrenty?

I think I blew my load prematurely on switching processors! Now that I'm looking at the new chip more, the 4720hq only comes with Intel's HD graphics 4600. Where as the 5500U came with a nvidia gtx 850m 4g graphics card. Reading up on the performance differences between the 2, it looks like the...

Cool thanks, little different then I'm used too.

Thanks for the welcome guys!! I'm sure you will hear from me often as I go down the road of learning about all this stuff. By the way......I am usually on my phone browsing, where can I find my subscribed threads here? I am a active member over at AVS, and there is a link that takes me to all...

So I called HP last night and canceled the order with the 5500U. I place a new order with the 4720hq. It ended up saving me $100 too. I think I'll be a happy camper now. It is probably WAY overkill for what I need, but that is how I roll. Everything I do is overkill, I like the best. I want to...

I wasn't sure if the passmark score was the best thing to go off of. Like even though a score may be lower, it still might be better then the one with a higher score. Like I said I am totally new to CPU's. So is the passmark pretty much the tell all about chips? There were other test too that...

First off.....I know very little about computers, and all the technical terms. I am in the market for a new laptop, actully I already purchased one directly from HP, and it being custom built for me right now. In the last 2 weeks I have tried to cram as much info into my little brain as I can...

Hey guys..... I know very little about computers. I am in the market for a new laptop and thought I would join here to learn some things.
