June 11, 201016 yr so my desktop died on me and i decided to just grab a laptop, tell me what you think http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+-+Black/9707468.p?id=1218154720995&skuId=9707468
June 11, 201016 yr It's alright, a little overpriced for what it has. Are you a student? If so you could've gotten something like this for the same price with a student discount. [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast]
June 11, 201016 yr Still a little overpriced, but it's not a bad computer if you're not going to play games, otherwise, Intel graphics sucks.
June 12, 201016 yr it's pretty bad man. They were selling Hp refurb ENVYs for 600-700 just a few days ago. I'm talking 2x160 GB SSD, for 600-700.
June 12, 201016 yr i3 isn't bad but the rest of it is pretty poor for what you paid for, even by best buy standards. I just feel like a processor like an i3 is kind of useless without a decent video card to back it up (as you don't need anything above a centiron core2duo or w/e for just browsing the web).
June 14, 201016 yr Doesn't the Intel Core i3 have 2 cores with an integrated graphics card? If you want to play games you better not get such a craptastic laptop unless you want to cry, just warning you.
June 14, 201016 yr I have an i3 in the computer I recently built and let me tell you, it's far from a bad processor. Dual core with Multithreading, it outperformed my Athlon dual core that I had in my old computer by a hell of a lot. And yes, the i3 processor does have some graphics processing, but never something like a real graphics card.
June 15, 201016 yr Yeah that's what I mean. The i3 is a fine processor for the new low-end market of today, it's just with the graphics portion of that laptop he shouldn't game.
June 15, 201016 yr Well an I3 can definitely handle runescape, maybe not in HD, but it could still play it.
June 17, 201016 yr Ah, I think it could without problems play RS HD.Wtf is this discussion? I have an Athlon XP ~1.6Ghz and play hd fine. [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic."-Joseph Stalin
