thanks for all your replies and feel free to chime in with your experience, finally decided on the HP Pavillion 15.6 8GB, 1TB laptop with touchscreen... hoping it is a good purchase.

retiring my current Dell with similar specs, but it's a 17.3 which is sooooo very heavy and doesn't have the touchscreen.

will keep you posted with my experience

While it did have the AMD 10, one of the higher capacity processors AMD offers, AMD overall makes a cheaper end processor as opposed to Intel who makes another version of processors. Personally I try to stay away from anything that I see has AMD processor. The electronic was always cheap, in terms of cost, and I never had long lasting good results with it. Intel is the way to go...but per my comment in above post, you need to make sure what you are buying is a recent Intel,processor.

The AMD processors actually rate a tad higher overall than the equivalent Intel processors, and rates significantly higher in handling graphics. The only processor I've ever found to be a complete dog was the Intel Celeron processor when it was first released.

I respectfully disagree with you that AMD processors rate higher than Intel. AMD is a low end processor, and you'll find most electronics using AMD processor to be less expensive. I agree with you as far as AMD for graphics. That does rate high. Most computers that developers use have AMD graphics card, but will have Intel installed for the processor. I think most gaming equipment, like Xbox,,etc. have AMD graphics card
