I need a laptop for school. Currently i have the following desktop:

CPU: AMD A6-3500

Motherboard: ASUS F1A55-M LE

RAM: Kingston 4GB

Display: Inno3D Nvidia 750Ti

HDD: 500GB seagate

 

I want a notebook that can handle daily work and possibly game on it.

 

The university is offering some model of HP and Asus in discounted price.

Asus:http://www.hknotebook.com/np14/cuhk-asus/catalog

HP:http://www.hknotebook.com/np14/cuhk-hp/catalog

 

requirements:

1. Preferably i7, i5 is ok though.

2. more than 8gb of ram

3. number pad

 

I am looking at:

ASUS N series R552JK-CM475H

HP Envy 15

 

Which of them worth it?(or others?)

 

ps:

1HKD =0.129025 USD (provided by Google)

I can also possibly get lenovo Y50(i7-4710HQ/1TB HDD/16GB RAM/860M 4G) for 9999HKD.

 

EDIT:

Budget doesn't matter, as long as it is in the website above.

If you're getting a laptop for school and plan to game on it, I highly suggest looking at the least flashy looking laptops. A laptop that looks clearly like a gaming laptop is a dead giveaway for teachers and students (wonder all the shit students could do to it, like steal or break it). Look for something subtle, something that looks like a normal laptop, but has great specs.

 

Sorry that I can't help more, but just some advice. A gaming laptop attracts attention in schools, no matter if elementary school  or university.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

The HP and the Asus one you were looking seems like the same but the HP one has a faster cpu but the Asus one has a better battery life, it's your chose for what you want. 

Can i game on those? I don't mind turning down the settings a little bit, but it have to be on playable FPS(~60) for current gen games.
