I need a new computer

If your up for mobile gaming and for risk.
Get this laptop. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215187
$479

Replace the ram and overclock the A8 Quad-Core Chip with K10stats from 1.5GHz to 2.1GHz keep the stock voltages the same. Set the Turbo clock a 100mhz higher by increasing the multiplier by one.
Run Prime95 for 10-30 minutes and see if it is stable. If not lower the clock until it is stable.
DDR3 1600 ram improves Graphics performance on the APU and CPU performance and overclock ability.
I do however recommend getting a laptop cooler if you are gonna try this.
I tried this on a A6 laptop and it worked nice. I played Minecraft and allowed java to use 4gb of ram which yield me a high of 110 fps and a low of 30-40fps when chunk updating.


Examples of AMD APU gameplay.
Skyrim

Battlefield 3

Modern Warfare 2

My A6-3420M Quad-Core has the same Windows Experience Index as a Intel Core i7-740QM Quad-Core

A last thing I would like to say is. Most people say AMD bad because of the FX processors or it can't defeat Intel.
A real thing is a AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core Processor costs $169 while vs a Intel Core i7-3960x Six-Core Extreme Edition which costs $1049. You end up paying 1/10th of the price. Giving you the freedom to buy more parts for a pc or maybe build a small pc with that extra cash. The FX-8120 which has 10-30 fps lower than the Intel Core i7-3960x doesn't really justify paying $900 more for a cpu. Since most games only utilize 3-4 CPU Cores.
Theoretically speaking if you were to have Buy 4 AMD Fx-8120 Eight-Core CPUs = $676.96 and had it in one motherboard like a Quad AMD Opteron G34 motherboard you would be beating the Intel Core i7-3960x by alot while still saving $300.

Don't let benchmark scores make you decide your decision like game reviews only use it as a heads up. Both Intel and AMD cpus are special in their own way.
