The thing about AMD is that for every advantage it has two or more disadvantages. For example, Trinity rocks but the number of laptop models available with it is staggeringly low and in most cases you have to make due with lowend specs like crappy screens, no SSD option and a case which feels like it was made from recycled Compaq PCs from the 1990s. Which is ironic since Trinity could drive a retina-like display without a discrete GPU on the side, yet I could only find a handful of Trinity laptops with optional 1080p displays and two weren't available stateside. The only performance unit I could find was made by MSI. There's nothing like the Zenbook or the ENVY15 available, so at the end the problem isn't a compromise on CPU power alone but on nearly everything else too. So you have to choose: either you get a good laptop or an AMD laptop, and that's not fair. I guess AMD should start working more closely with OEMs to make sure its APUs are available on products that are not all bargain-bin units but at least some mid-to-high end units with good features and build quality. That or do like MS with the Surface and make their own highend laptops and tablets.
