Guest Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm looking at the hp probook 4530s, but i can only find the 4535s. Are there any major differences that i should worry about before i buy or should i just go ahead? It has all the specs i'm looking for and I'm hoping it works out. let me know if it is the same thing (roughly) and i will get the laptop. Please reply I only have a couple of days until i change wireless services. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I believe the 4535s has an AMD processor vs. the 4530s's i3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So... Should I get the thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Knowing that AMD is harder to work with. Would I be stuck with tonycrapx86 or can somebody build an extra? I will post it all over this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Acknowledging that you are new to this, and that AMD processors are more challenging to deal with, I would suggest working with an Intel processor to be wiser. There is a lot more access to references and help. As for posting it all over this forum, it is best to keep things neat and orderly, posting things in the appropriate areas where members can know where to search and find the information they are looking for without weeding through clutter.

iMick Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 When you buy a computer / laptop to make a Hackintosh, never choose AMD.. It won't run as good as Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have experience but not with AMD. I was just wondering how hard it would be or if I'd be stuck using tonycrapx86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMick Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 With AMD you aren't stuck with tonycrapx86 off course. Btw, the best AMD developers are on InsanelyMac. There aren't on tonycrap. But if you choose for AMD you have some limitations... No Mavericks, and Mountain Lion is buggy. No iCloud services etc. It will just not work like an Intel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Another related question- since amd is buggy can I replace the processor with an i7? I think it might be soldered in but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can never replace an AMD processor with an Intel. This is due to the difference in CPU socket. It just won't fit (and won't work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
