Friends new laptop

[Swegly]

This is what my friend wants me to post -

 

Hi, I have a problem with my laptop I purchased just 2 days ago, (brand new 24/07/2014). As good as the specs sounded to me, it really isn't the good laptop I expected it to be. The specs and the link to the laptop for more information is located at the end. This laptop I thought will be really super fast and a really good laptop for gaming and etc, unfortunately it sucks. I cant play a block game (minecraft) in high settings because the FPS will stay under 30 and it lags loads, when I asked in shop they said this laptop will run mostly all modern games with good FPS and its apparently a "experts recommended laptop". What sucks even more is that this laptop cannon be returned or replaced for another one. Whats even more funny to everyone else except me is when I turn on Minecraft, by Fan starts to literally shout. It makes so much noise, its unbearable, I read somewhere this is because a "high demanding" application is turned on which overheats the components or some other crap. I had a Sony laptop before this which I bought for cheaper, Less fan noise, 6GB RAM, Intel i5, and 1GB dedicated graphics card and it was really good. Is there any solution to my problems? Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but that isn't that great of a laptop. I'm not trying to sound nasty or anything but the laptop just isn't that great. I've seen better for around the same price or not much more. I'm sorry that your friend got conned into buying such a weak laptop.

Should've gone with an Intel......

 

But seriously you're gonna want all the CPU power you can get for Minecraft.

I wouldn't recommend HP just simply because they use AMD for laptops, which are generally underpowered even for a budget laptop. Yes, I have experience with an HP laptop. AMD Desktop CPUs on the other hand are very good for budget builds but still don't do as well as their Intel counterparts except when you are talking about APUs, but we will see how Broadwell Intel CPUs will do with Intel Iris Pro graphics.

I have had bad experiences with amd laptops they just tend to generate more heat than intel ones. try to find an intel haswell laptop.
