I love the thread's name.. Specially the "BUT!" part..:D


Sorry but the ultrabook is not worth the price he paid..

And the graphics cannot be integrated since it is 2 Gb and the usual integrated graphics are normally 1 Gb..

Is the friend a girl? Then its ok as girls like aesthetics over anything and ultrabooks have that, else he was screwed, in the sense that this laptop will murder that envy with an axe: HP Pavilion G6-2313AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2.5GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

Custom made perhaps?

And yeah, can't find any envy with 8GB RAM.

I know!but the shopkeeper directly offered this one..
Shopkeeper probably upgraded the RAM himself, anyway tell him to check the RAMs using CPU Z to see whether both rams are same. If its from HP both rams should be same model, make, timings etc.

Moreover the G6-2313Ax is just 38K compared to your friend's 49k..

The HD 4000 (whatever) on an Ultrabook (ULV Ivy Bridge processor) is slower than that on a normal laptop (normal Ivy Bridge processor). Just more than half the performance.

I think your friend has wasted money.
