Well, the G505S with A10-5750M is explicitly listed as no longer being sold. So it's the A8 or nothing. Could you provide links within the EU with (online) shops still selling the A10 variant and having some actual stock? --emi On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 6:45 PM, Vladimir quickcrackt...@gmail.com

[coreboot] Lenovo G505S and Coreboot LTS Candidates list

2015-04-06 Thread Vladimir

Yes, in addition to A10-5750M based G505S there are also A8 and A6 ones. But there are some possible problems regarding them: 1) their price is just slightly lower than with A10 - as result, price/performance ratio seems to be worse for these models 2) I'm not sure if it is possible could upgrade
