Re: AMD laptop
No ideas?
Only thing i could find would be a custom built HP DV6Z but it isnt sold like that in the EU...
Also forgot to mention if possible id like either a touchpad+pointing stick with two sets of buttons like the workstation and business laptops have (m4600, w520, e6520...) or just a touchpad with no buttons at all (like the new Asus and Samsungs - rather have no buttons then crummy ones).

Re: AMD laptop
There's a Lenovo Ideapad with a setup like that. a8 apu, usual 13 inch chassis, screen, etc. Not sure how easy it will be to order one, though..

Re: AMD laptop
The Lenovo doesnt fit what im looking for as stated in the OP...
Is there really no other suitable laptop than the DV6Z (which i also dont find ideal and id have to import from the US)?

Re: AMD laptop
Right. Because of the resolution on the screen.
No, I was looking for a setup like this too. 1080p screen, a6/a8, no integrated graphics, a large battery, ssd or a replaceable hdd.. Couldn't find one.
Closest I could get was the k53, n53tk models.
