In European currency that’s just 446 EUR, and the laptop is indeed delivered all around the world so, if any European Trinity fans want one, they can grab it from the Taiwan retailer PC Home. At this price, the HP Pavilion G6 is clearly not a high-end model, so we shouldn’t be too disappointed with its 2.5 Kg weight. That’s 5.51 pounds in imperial and it’s acceptable for a 15.6” notebook. HP Pavilion G6 is not trying to compete with any UltraBook, but when performance is concerned, especially in 3D graphics applications, it will most likely trounce most of Intel’s cheaper UltraBooks.
The reason for this is the fact that the A6-4400 APU is paired with a discrete graphics card, also from AMD, that comes with 1 GB of dedicated DDR3 video memory. The card in question is the Radeon HD 7520G, which will be able to work with the APU’s own iGPU for some powerful CrossFire action. Connectivity wise, the HP Pavilion G6 is well set up with a HDMI 1.4 port, a VGA connector, two USB 3.0 slots and a USB 2.0 one, Ethernet and Wireless N, Bluetooth 4.0 and a card reader, along with the two standard audio jacks.
Unfortunately, AMD’s A6-4400M APU is practically half of Trinity, as it comes with two cores and one FPU. The working frequency is 2700 MHz that can turbo up to 3200 MHz. The level2 cache is just 1 MB, and the Radeon HD 7520G iGPU has only 192 shader units. Why HP chose to include a discrete GPU with only 192 shaders instead of delivering a full A10-4600M APU is beyond us, but feel free to comment on this.

I seriously doubt it comes with a discrete graphic card:
1) At such a price I would check the info
2) The current G6 serie has a discrete CLASS graphic card that is nothing but the GPU in the APU.
3) the Radeon HD 7520G is the GPU in the A6-4400 APU see at amd spec description http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/apu/mainstream/Pages/mainstream.aspx#7
