    Hi everyone,

    I was looking into the AMD A series on toshiba's site (and HP prior to that), when I came across a few toshiba laptops with AMD's A series processors AND intel HD graphics. I thought if you had AMD A processor it eliminated the need for intel HD???? Is toshiba here making a typo or are these laptops actually configured this way?

    Thanks for your help.

    Yeah, those are definitely typos. Intel integrated graphics are now part of their CPU, so it is not possible if you have an AMD CPU. The A4-3300M has the Radeon HD 6480G, the A6-3400M has the Radeon HD 6520G, and the A8-3500M has the Radeon HD 6620G.

    Intel HD graphics are built into the same chip as the Intel processor.
