these will both perform pretty badly in triple A games. they should be good for light work environments tough, but don't expect them to be rendering machines either.

I'd go for the Intel machine, but honestly, do you have to get an HP? They generally make absolutely terrible machines in anything but the high end.

 

 

both of them arent gaming laptops at all.

 

dont expect either one to perform well for gaming

It'll play games just fine. You all seem to be failing to realize this is a 720p machine, not 1080p. It requires significantly less horsepower to run games on these.

My 4rd gen HD graphics can run games just fine, and that's with a higher resolution (900p) display.

I highly doubt he's expecting to run Crysis at max settings on a laptop in this price bracket.

He said gaming tho. It will play older games sure. But not something like GTA V or Witcher 3.

true, even at 720p, HD4000 series struggles to get much above 20FPS even with desktop processors. An A8 should hit in the 30s for the most part...

Exactly, he didn't say what games ;)

Not all gamers play triple A titles.

Specs:

 

Intel i3 4th Genration Processor
4gb Ram
1tb Hdd
Nvidia GeForce 820M ( 2GB Graphics )

 

I Realize that i didn't choose the best laptops under the choices as i am very low on budget.
If you guys can suggest me some more laptops under the 35 000 Rupees price mark .
Search for laptop under Indian webpages as shipping is not very cheap when it come to India.

 

Thanks Keep Me Updated if you guys come up with more. :) :)

 

What if i buy more ram and upgrade it to 8gb ????
