which of these 2 laptops are best

raider150 · Jan 14, 2014

I'm not aiming performance like Gaming Rig with GTX Vcard with ultra-high settings
All i want to know if these specs can run the modern games such as battlefield 4, cod ghost, ac black flag, batman arkham origins, far cry 3, and league of legends etc... With acceptable FPS. Even with low to medium settings. I’m just worried the CPU which it has 1.6 GHz but it is 4th gen Haswell but i love the GT740m with a good review.
Help me choose with these 2 laptops this is my first laptop please help.

1. HP pavilion 15 N029SX
Intel Core i5-4200U (1.6 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores) turbo 2.6
6 GB DDR3L
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)
750 GB 5400 rpm SATA
(15.6") (1366 x 768) reso.

this specs i notice that it has balance specs but i dont like the review of the HD8670m.
2. HP PAVILION 15 E053SX
Intel Core i5-3230m (2.6 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores) turbo 3.2
4 GB DDR3L
Radeon HD8670m (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)
750 GB 5400 rpm SATA
(15.6") (1366 x 768) reso

Personally I think that the N029SX is better if you want to do some gaming on it, the processor is used mainly for non graphical stuff and that one should be fine for most of what you would be doing (unless you run theoretical mathematical calculations.) I like the NVIDIA better and think that right now they are a lot better. Good Luck!

Laptop #2 is the better one, but you'll be just fine with #1 on med. settings, enjoy my friend...

For gaming the first laptop will outperform the second one just because it has 2GB more RAM and a bit better gpu

What about if I add ram 4gb for the #2?

And doest it affect the performance with 1.6ghz turbo 2.4 ghz #1? Ireally want to buy the number 1 whats holding me back its the cpu 1.6ghz. Does it automatic boost to 2.6ghz because of the turbo boost.?

If temps and power usage are under limits and usage is on 1 core, then it will go to 2.6. As you load more cores the speed will step back. Keep in mind that haswell is more efficient than Ivy-Bridge and that it saves a lot more power too meaning increased battery life

Does it affect the gameplay? if my cpu draw only 1.6ghz but my gpu is gt740m

airplanegeek · Jan 16, 2014

it'll be fine. the gpus are not powerful enough to need better cpus

raider150 · Jan 18, 2014

Most of the review I search they said that my gt740m will be bottleneck of the system. And i read also that the U serries is useless when it comes to turbo mode because if the of the heat once the heat goes up the turbo will go down. So means it will not clock the turbo speed like 2.6ghz may be around 1.8 to 2.0ghz? Please help me because in my place this are the only laptop they offer. And I more thing is it worth it to take the i74500U 1.8ghz to 3.0 turbo same specs.

The graphics should always be your limiting factor in games. An i5-4670k is fine for 3 GTX 780 Tis. The U means low power which mans it shouldn't put out as much heat. Even though the cpu will be a bit weaker the stronger graphics will counter that, because graphics are the most important for gaming. Remeber that i5-4200u will improve your laptop battery life by a lot. How much extra is the i7?
