There are currently two hps I am looking at. I am looking at the quad and the t. Which one would you recommend, and why? The quad is cheaper, but come with "AMD Radeon(TM) Discrete-Class Graphics [HDMI, VGA]". Are these dedicated? The t offers an i5 with an intel hd 3000, while if I were to buy the z, it would come with discrete graphics, although I am not sure if this is the 1gb dedicated model I would want. How would the performance differ? One has an i5, and one has an amd a6 quad core. Thanks

The current AMD system-all-in-one is quite powerful. Don't let the word "discrete" fooling you. It is actually an HD 7690M GDDR5 making part of the CPU/GPU chip

So - I personally go for the AMD in this case.

Wait, so the AMD discrete is basically like an intel hd 3000? I wouldn't mind spending the extra on "1GB AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7690M GDDR5 Discrete Graphics(TM) [HDMI, VGA]". I am thinking those are dedicated, right? I would like to do light gaming on it.

For the extra $75 I would get that 7690M myself laugh4.gif

Thanks :). For the final conclusion, the second one could handle light gaming, right? Like mw3, skyrim, and battlfield 3? Thanks
