re: i7-4700MQ vs A10-5750M processors

Well, for one thing, it's a list of desktop configurations, so completely irrelevant to the conversation about laptops. Secondly, it doesn't exactly compare or explain the differences in CPU performance even in general terms. Third, the builds are 100% gaming focused.

Lastly, after the "Excellent/Outstanding" tier, their part combinations get a little short-sighted. Not "bad," but very boxed-in and not accounting for more efficient combinations at the higher end; for example, you can use crossfire/SLI 290x's/780 Tis without needing (or even getting any additional gaming performance from) a socket 2011 CPU and the inflated-price mobos--plus, they go from a 4770k to a 4960X with nothing in between--and crossfire 290s are completely ignored. Then they start tacking on excessive RAM, overpriced platinum PSUs, and insanely huge $300+ full tower cases paired with air coolers. They randomly bump an i7 suggestion down to an i5, same socket, and tack on another $100 to the motherboard budget.
