COMPUTEX TAIPEI: 2011 Best Choice of COMPUTEX TAIPEI Award
"AMD Fusion represents the dawning of a new era of processor technology, design and software development, delivering serial, parallel and visual compute capabilities for HD video, 3D, data-intensive workloads, and advancements in user interface."

The Tech Report: Editor's Choice award
"The HP Pavilion dm1z is, therefore, fully deserving of our Editor's Choice award. Right now, I'm considering ditching my MacBook for one of these. That's saying a lot."

CNET: HP Pavilion dm1
"The system ran for 5 hours and 19 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, which is better than the 11-inch MacBook Air and every other 11-inch laptop we've tested in recent memory."

LAPTOP: HP Pavilion dm1z (LAPTOP Editors' Choice Award)
"...a low-cost ultraportable that performs. And that's what HP has delivered with the new Pavilion dm1z, an 11-inch notebook featuring AMD's new Fusion processor. Starting at $449 ($479 as configured), this 3.4-pound machine blows past Atom-based netbooks while providing enough endurance to see you through the day. Add to that a stylish design, excellent audio, and a comfy keyboard, and you've got a superior take-anywhere laptop...you get 6.5 hours of battery life in a very stylish package. Bottom line: The HP Pavilion dm1z is a remarkable value."

PC Magazine: HP Pavilion dm1z (PC Editors' Choice Award); The Top 10 Best Laptops; The Top 10 Best Notebooks
"What's different about this crop of AMD processors versus all the previous ones is that you actually have the great battery life to go along with all that speed. The dm1z scored over 7 hours in our battery tests, and beat its Intel Atom counterparts in every speed test. For this, the dm1z nabs the Editors' Choice in the netbook category and earns a spot on our list as one of the best laptops."

PC World: Sony VAIO YB Series (VPCYB16KG) laptop
"The graphics processor, in particular, is very strong for such a small laptop. Not only does it drive a beautiful 11.6in LED-backlit LCD screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels, it can also drive a Full HD television through the notebook's HDMI port...In our battery test, in which we disable power management, maximise screen brightness, enable Wi-Fi and loop an Xvid-encoded video file, the VAIO YB Series lasted 3hr 34min, which is 20min better than the VAIO Y Series notebook equipped with a Intel Core i3-380UM CPU and 21min better than the Toshiba NB550D. Its not as good as the time recorded by many netbooks, such as the HP Mini 5103 and Acer Aspire One Happy, but the VAIO YB Series has a lot more CPU and graphics processing power."

Hot Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad X120e Review: AMD Fusion Infused
"With Fusion, AMD has taken another stab at it, and we feel that this time, they really have something worth gloating about. Despite being a sub-$600 ultraportable, the ThinkPad X120e felt like something far more powerful. Boot up was snappy, and the desktop was usable within seconds...

...Yet again, this is a great example of how the Zacate E-350 APU is much more powerful than the Neo before it, and definitely more powerful than an Atom + ION combo. These numbers are proof that AMD really cranked up the performance on Fusion, and you can definitely feel it in real-world use."

NotebookHunter: Toshiba NB550D/00J Fusion powered netbook
"The new AMD Fusion processors have had a dramatic effect on what's possible with a netbook, and the pricing is outright excellent... the Toshiba NB550D/00J is an excellent product...The new AMD Fusion processor gives netbooks some real graphics processing power, and the end result is that movies play better, proper low-end casual games can be played, and general performance is improved."
