Guys I want to buy a new laptop and I compared the above two mentioned laptops and the surprising thing is

HP Split 13-g210dx x2 has HD4400 mentioned as the Gpu Although it has the same Processor (Intel Core i5-4202Y) as (f010dx), Can anyone please clear this paradox?

Moreover both models have sublte differences, please help me recommanding the better one..

One has 802.11 a/b/n while other has 802.11ac (Keep in mind I live in Pakistan which is a poor country, so I don't know if ac wireless is backwards compatible or not)

One has specifically mentioned '1600Mhz' DDR3L SDRAM while Other has just mentioned DDR3L SDRAM

MOREOVER most importantly: one's dimensions weight is mentioned as 'Slate + base', while other's is 'slate only weight/dimension' and then the weight/dimensions of 'clamshell' is mentioned..I don't get this clamshell idea can anyone please clear it to me? and which one is better and why?



I have attached the screenshots of specs of both models..Please help

how much are you spending on this??
let me tell you one thing , the performance of the split 13 is not satisfactory and the screen is also okayish , get a regular laptop mate , it will last you much longer , both gpus are nothing to write about .
its just my own opinion though ......

Man it is a Haswell with 128GB SSD, what am I doing wrong there? the battery life decent (5-6 hours with wifi)... I thought I am getting a good deal :D:D even 15.6 ones didn't have an SSD till Rs. 70K... so what should I do? Should I visit Rwp/ISB/LHR shops?

Man its Haswell but its among the slowest variants of haswell , after that the screen is okayish , after that Limited battery life for the weight and dual-battery setup , even my laptop gives 7 hours , for a laptop/tablet hybrid the battery is not good,
one more thing : Forget Games

I know that, But I think they are 'MORE' than enough for moderate-heavy web browsing and moderate MS Office work, and Watching some documentaries right na? I don't think in my price bracket, which is as follows:

1. Laptops Under Rs. 60000 => I can pay by cash

2. Laptops exceeding 60k till 80k(ish) => I will opt for Installment program (Meezan bank/HBL personal loan)


I don't think in 60k price bracket I can find any lappy better than this? Buying dem haswell i5's is just a waste as those lappies don't have SSDs

regarding games, I 'MIGHT' just be playing Don Bradman Cricket 14 in it, I know it is a 2014 title but it is graphically inferior than other titles released in 2014, moreover the possibility of me playing DBC is not so high...


Gosh I am all confused ; D : D

IS 8750 on par with R265 OR 840M? I think not...
guess what ........ its better than the R265 and in performance quite similar to the 840m , bundled with the 4200m , it will offer much better performance compared to those shtty Y and U series processors
