Just started school and im looking for a laptop but can't seem to find 1 of my liking because I want it to be for both gaming and school. I found 1 but cant be sure if its good for gaming HP 8540P Intel Core i7 2.66GHz 4GB Memory 240GB HDD 15.6" Notebook Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Integrated Graphics, and shared video memory . if you can help me find some with the price of 200 low and 650 high with at least 2.5 ghz and 4gb ram. dosent matter the size or if its refurbished and thank you oh and also intel core i7 would be great too but not important and I live in the US

It looks good for the price just dont expect desktop like performance. If you play lol, wow, or games of that nature itll play it med-high, but much else above that you will need to set everything to low. It actually seems like a pretty good deal the only issues I see right away is 1. The 768p screen. Now some screens of this resolution can look pretty decent if theyre made with quality parts, but i actually have a lower level lenovo y580 that has the same resolution, and it looks god awful when i play games.Like im...

Integrated graphics will not be able to game unless your talking about minecraft or something of that nature. A gaming laptop for 650 will be tough, there are some out there but if you can extend your budget you can get something much better.

The hard drive is going to be slow if you can deal with it good, if now swap it for an ssd or add a msata ssd to help boost the loading/boot speed. If the points i made arent going to be an issue for you, than have fun with your new laptop.
