After evaluating two of the less expensive models with AMD's Trinity APU ( g7-2053sg with A6-4400M and g7-2051sg with A10-4600M) in the last few weeks, we decided to take a look at the most powerful member of the series - the g7-2007sg . This model retail...

For example, it has a quad core processor from AMD. The A6-3420M only clocks with 1.5 GHz, but it has an integrated graphics chip ( Radeon HD 6520G ). To increase the performance even more, HP treats the multimedia machine to a second graphics card. The R...
