Posted March 10, 2018 I was checking Amazon the other day looking for a laptop and I stumbled with this one: The HP Pavilion Power GTX 1050 Gaming Laptop This are the specs according with the seller: Processor: 7th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ Processor, Quad-Core, 2.8GHz up to 3.8GHz. Video graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated). Display: 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD (1920x1080) IPS anti-glare WLED-backlit. Memory: 8GB DDR4 SDRAM. Hard drive: 128GB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid-state drive and 1TB 7200RPM Serial ATA I was reading the reviews, I watched some videos but they haven't been that helpful. I kinda like this laptop, I'm on a really tight budget at the moment, but I think this is an affordable laptop that can suit my needs. I work with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and inDesign, some web coding, IT stuff and I like playing games a lot, but nothing that demanding, mostly retro games and a really old MMORPG called Ragnarok Online 2, so I was hoping that you guys could tell me if this is a good choice.

Posted March 10, 2018 I personally think that this is a good choice for your needs, put if you're gonna do more demanding gaming on specs, you're gonna need to get a better GPU, but for your needs this laptop is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 10, 2018 Author Yes, this would be a temporary solution, my old PC is from 2012 and I'm moving out of the country, so I can't buy a pre-built desktop, Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 10, 2018 It depends on what you do in Photoshop or InDesign, for instance if you design very high resolution artwork, you might run out of RAM, but otherwise it should run all those older games and even most newer ones at 1080p, but at low/medium settings.

Posted March 10, 2018 Author There's an option to upgrade to a 16gb Ram and a GTX1050Ti, I guess that one could be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 10, 2018 Don't get it, bad exhaust design causing issues. What's your budget and what are your requirements? Also, could you provide some links of online stores in your country?

Posted March 10, 2018 Author Budget: $1000 TOPS (but less would be better), Requirements: Enough to handle Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and inDesign, some web coding and 1080p gaming if possible I'm not picky about FPS, I'm buying on amazon because they can deliver to my country (Uruguay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 11, 2018 You need a good display, a fast CPU and at least MX150 GPU. 8250U/8550U+MX150: Acer Swift 3 - entry level IPS panel Acer Aspire 5 17 HP Envy x360 - entry level IPS panel Acer Aspire 5 15 - entry level IPS panel Asus Vivobook Pro N705UN - OKish build quality, OKish keyboard, mediocre battery life Asus UX331UN, Lenovo Ideapad 720S, HP Envy 13 - good in almost every aspects, but the 8W variant of MX150 is only slightly faster than 940MX GTX 1050: Lenovo Yoga 720 15 (slightly over budget) Acer Spin 5, Nitro 5 Spin Or do you need 1050TI?
