What should you get the gamer mom in your life? The AMD FX Special Edition APU! This laptop (aff) provides extreme performance of AMD’s most powerful mobile processer to deliver exceptional Gaming and Entertainment experience! I know I would love one of these! The HP Envy TouchSmart 15.6” touch screen laptop (aff) makes multitasking a breeze, and the Quick AMD FX series processor is great for daily tasks such as managing your personal life or streaming movies or videos.

The new FX APU powered notebook is unbeatable and you'll experience the processing power of 10 compute cores (4 CPU + 6 GPU). Best of all, Best Buy has Free Shipping on orders $35 and up and Free Store Pickup. I love that because it keeps me from spending even more money! Best Buy is a store I can go into for one thing and walk out spending $500. My husband is the same way. That is why I love that I can order at home (aff) and pick up your order in as little as 45 minutes! You can pick which Best Buy too, so if you are like me, you can have your hubby pick it up on the way home (aff) from work!

    I wouldn’t mind getting one of those for Mother’s Day. I should drop a hint for my hubby!

    1. Rosey

      Drop a hint to my hubby too, would ya? Tell him such a present would get him huge bonus points up in this house. 😉 🙂

  2. Jennifer

    That is one sweet laptop! It sounds just as powerful as a desktop, which is AWESOME.

  3. I need this in the worst way. I have a laptop that’s serviceable, but this would be a super nice upgrade for me.

  4. Digna D.

    Looks like a nice lap top. I got one for my hubby recently and he likes his. All except for windows 8 which he can’t stand. Says it makes his lap top into a smart phone. LOL

  5. IttyBittyFoodies

    I just got a new laptop and I do regret not getting a touch screen. It’s so much more intuitive that way. I’ll have to wait and put this on my list next time.

  6. Laura Funk

    I just moved to apple but I miss my windows computer. This looks great

  7. I really really want this laptop. This will probably be my next one as the one I am currently working on is acting up!

  8. Jennifer Sikora

    I just got a new PC for Valentine’s Day so I will have to see if I can get my hubby to get me something else for Mother’s day! I’m hoping for a new living room suit 🙂

  9. we need to get our son a computer for middle school and don’t want to spend too mch. These seems like a great alternative

  10. Chubskulit Rose

    A new laptop would be so awesome so I can do blogging anywhere in the house. Having a desktop computer really limits you with doing stuff. If ever I would have to buy one, I will keep this in mine.

  11. Aimee Smith

    What a great gift! I don’t know a mom who wouldn’t love to get this for Mother’s Day!

  12. Tami

    I have been toting around my laptop in my car to do some online work during my lunch break. I even broke the screen. I could use a notebook like this so much easier!

  13. Olivia Schwab

    This looks like a great product! A new laptop sounds incredible right about now! Great review!

  14. I bought my very first laptop from Best Buy! It was such an easy process! I like this touch screen! I think I want a touch screen next time around!

    1. Liz Mays

      I’ve never had a laptop with a touch screen before. It might be pretty cool!

  15. Liz Mays

    That looks like such a nice machine and I didn’t realize Best Buy had free shipping for over $35 orders. I’m totally remembering that!

  16. Jessica

    I know my daughter would love this laptop. She has recently gotten into computer gaming.

  17. becca

    I wouldn’t mind getting one of those for Mother’s Day. I should drop a hint for my hubby and son.

  21. Jamie

    I have a new laptop…an Asus…it is a touchscreen and I love it!! The touchscreen saves me so much time!

  22. Dee Mauser

    That touch screen laptop looks really awesome. Hmm, I wonder if I dropped hubby some hints if he would get me one for either my birthday or Mother’s Day. That would be awesome!

  23. Chrysa

    This looks pretty awesome. I love the touchscreen – at least I think I would love it – have only used them on tablets!

  24. Jessica Harlow

    Oh, wouldn’t I love to wake up to one of these on Mother’s Day! Such a great idea and I’ve been wanting one for a bit. Maybe if I’m really good? 🙂

    What a great gift! Definitely something to think about!

  29. Alli

    What a great gift idea! Any mom would love to have that for Mother’s Day! I really like the touch screen and the price!

  30. Allie D.

    This laptop looks awesome! I really like Best Buy. We get almost all our electronics there from computers to game consoles and video games. I stopped going to the store on Black Fridays, because most deals were also available online. Love that I can purchase what I want online and not have to deal with a huge crowd of people and also have it shipped to my house.

  31. mabi

    I’ve been looking to get a new laptop. I think I’ll looking into this one. thanks!

    My laptop is starting to do weird things. I think I may need a new one.

  35. Kristina

    This computer looks awesome. I wouldn’t mind getting myself a new laptop.

  36. Rebel Sweetheart

    Gaming laptops are the bomb! My first-ever laptop was designed for gaming and I enjoyed hours playing Starcraft and Warcraft with it until it finally conked out towards the end of 2013.

  37. Fi Ní Neachtáin

    Oh yes, this would be the best gift ever for me! I am SO in need of a new laptop.

  38. Shelley Zurek

    I like how knowledgeable everyone is at Best Buy. I find they really help when you ask questions.

  39. Jeannette

    This mama would love this for Mother’s Day! My hubby knows the way to my heart is through my computer too so I just might get it!

  40. rachel

    I have my eye on this computer too! 🙂

  41. I had no idea they had laptops with touch screen! Sounds like a tablet option. What a great feature to have!

  42. Lorane

    I like this Laptop a lot … I’m not a Mom but it would still make a great gift

  43. Lena

    I am not a gamer, but with everything i do on the computer, I wouldnt say know to this kind of gift

  44. breanna

    What a great gift. I wouldn’t mind getting one of those either. It is always fun to get new things to learn how to use!

  45. Avry

    My son would love something like this for his gaming. But I think I would get it for me first 😉

  46. I have a newer computer that I love. I bought a chrome book about a year ago. I know that my husband would love to have this computer though. 😉

  47. Amy Desrosiers

    I think this would make a great gift for moms! My mom is finally computer literate so this would be great for her.

  48. Kelly Hutchinson

    We have two gamers in the house and I know they would absolutely adore getting the AMD FX. One of them has a birthday coming up so hint hint!

  49. My mother is almost 60. Her birthday is 2 days after Mother’s Day. She just got direct deposit a few months ago. She refuses to get a debit card. She doesn’t have a cell phone and only gets on the internet to check her email and sometimes to stream Hulu or Netflix. I keep trying to bring her forward, but she doesnt budge. lol

  50. Dogvills

    I love these. I have been wanting one. Maybe the family will think it is a perfect gift for me for Mother’s Day. Maybe if I start hinting now.

  51. Patricia Figurski

    Wow- I am not a tech mom .. but I am sure- many ladies will fall in love with that 🙂

  52. Krystal

    I have an HP laptop that is the best. It’s so fast and easy to take with me to work.

  53. Victoria

    I have a similiar computer. However, I c an agree that this would make an awesome gift for a techie mom.

  54. Rebecca Swenor

    This is an awesome laptop indeed for anyone. I would love this with big screen and it is a touch screen besides. Totally awesome laptop. Thanks for sharing.

  55. Roz K. Walker

    I like HP laptops. This one looks like a fast and powerful one. Even though I’m not a gamer, for the type of work I do on my laptop, this would be great.

  56. eliz frank

    This would make a really nice Mother’s Day gift. I’d gladly take one for the road. 😉

  57. Crystal

    Personally, I’m a little attached to my current laptop. My guy would love this, though. It’s just a bigger version of his phone that I can never get him away from.

  58. Danielle H

    I have something very similar and I love it. And guess what! I bought it from Best Buy!!

  59. Travel Blogger

    15.6 is a decent screen size. It’s great for travel and game play. I’ve always wanted a touchscreen laptop too.

  60. This seems like a very neat product! I think my husband would really like it. It wouldn’t work for me personally because I am an Mac computer person through and through, but my husband would certainly love the format and features.

  61. Lisa Rios

    Sounds like a great laptop! I love to access touchscreen. I bet this would be best techie gift for all moms. I really need this one for me. Will have to share this post with my husband. Thanks for sharing it.

  62. Gabriel

    I’m happy that AMD is making a serious comeback, when I built my last computer I felt bad using an Intel processor after using AMD for so many years. The newest generations of laptop are making harder and harder to justify building a tower computer,but I like it so much =!

  63. Carissa Pelletier

    I’ve always wondered about the gamer computers. I’m not a gamer but I always use and abuse any laptop I buy. They barely last a year. I would love something that would handle using up a lot of RAM at one time or to be on and working all day, every day. Great info!

  64. Manu Kalia

    Wow. The specifications is perfect for games. In choosing a laptop the processor spec is a huge thing. Thank you for the review!

  65. Shannon Gurnee

    I love shopping at Best Buy! They really do have a great selection of computers at great prices!
