Here’s the Passmark CPU Benchmark and the GPU Benchmark

Notebookcheck.net has some good benchmarks and analysis on the AMD A8-4500M APU and the Radeon HD 7640G GPU

Here’s some more detailed specs from PCWorld

In my opinion, this is a solid computer for the price. The A8-4500M is the previous generation of mobile APU’s from AMD (current is the 5000 series). This chip is comparable to the Intel Core i3-3000 (previous generation) series. While the Radeon HD 7640G is capable of playing relatively modern games, it is at low resolutions and low frames per second; think 1280 x 720 at 30-40 fps. If you are looking for a laptop for the kids for school or for college, this would be a good option.

Comments from a previous sale

Looks like a good choice for the price, but don’t forget it weighs almost 8 pounds. I know someone with some mobility problems and they regret getting such a beast.

7

4GB RAM is a no no. Everything else looks good for the price.

Wife is getting ready to deploy and I want to send her off with a more reliable laptop than the one she has now… This would be fine for basic things like Skype and movies right?

9

Is anyone running Ubuntu on one of these. That’s how I’d use it.

10

This CPU is kind of a dog. I bought a decently powerful quad-core laptop from Dell 4 or 5 years ago for $1500.

Looking at benchmarks from passmark, my 5 year old laptop is still 3x faster than this processor. This would have been considered slow 5 years ago.

Graphics are nice, but they’ll almost certainly be bottlenecked by the CPU. And the 4GB is really low for most applications today.

But, for $360… what do you want? This is what a netbook used to cost. Good deal overall.
