Laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5000 - A12-9700P APU with R7 radeon
Hello,
On November 3rd, 2016, I bought this Laptop equipped with a A12-9700P APU and I would like to know what model is the Radeon R7 exactly ?
There is a few R7 models out there but which will be mine when I will get the Laptop ?
Is the driver using the R7 supplied by Dell or we can use the AMD at their website when they update it every month ?
Thank you.

This system uses a CPU with an integrated GPU -- details from AMD below.
It does not have a separate GPU -- nor is the GPU the same as a separate R7 GPU (such as is available on an Intel-based system with AMD graphics).

You cannot use the amd website because all laptop drivers must come from Dell. Those Drivers are specifically customized by Dell for your laptop's motherboard and are almost never updated. Sign up for notifications of any driver updates at the Dell Download site for your model so you know when any driver or bios is updated by Dell. The amd drivers posted by amd will not work on your laptop.
