Hi Guys

First : i am not sure if this the right place to ask, and sorry if it was not

So I am kinda on a tight budget, and i wanted to buy a new laptop/notebook

i found this one: HP Pavilion dv 6 7080 ee

When i searched about it, it was a bit confusing, some said it was a mid-laptop

on the other hand some others stated that it's an excellent laptop they said it can even run some modern games on high quality.

SO.....

What can you guys tell me about it

can it run some modern games on high-quality (or Ultra) like BF III, Borderlands 2, Skyrim, DMC ... etc

and what about more demanding games like Crysis 3

are the other laptop specs have a notable effect on the video card performance?

anyway here the full specs of the laptop

it's HP Pavilion dv 6 7080 ee

Intel core i7 2670QM processor (2.20 / 3.10 turbo GHz, 6 MB 3rd level cache)

8 GB DDR3 RAM (probably i will buy the one with the 16 GB RAM)

1 TB Hard Disk SATA

15.6 LED HD

Thanks in advance :)

What gpu does it have. If its the hd 3000, its not going to run any games. If its the gt 630m you can do light gaming. 16 GB is completely unnecessary for gaming (only editing, rendering would require it). It might be better to see if you can find an i5 + 640m in your budget range. a10 +7670m will also play games better at a lower price.
