Thanks guys, I do have a playstation so would play games on that.
The price is £400 it’s been discounted.
Its okay but it wouldn’t be good for games or anything that is graphics intensive like video editing or photo editing.
The reason is that it has a very basic graphics card which is basically a built in graphics card and not a dedicated card that would be needed to play games.
I’m not saying you can’t play ANY games, just not ones that have lots of fast moving 3D graphics, etc.
It would be good for browsing the Internet, working on documents and work projects, etc. Phoning your mates and using the web cam to chat online.

its alright. It all depends on what you want it for, eg gaming, work. Also try to include the price so we can judge better if its a good laptop or not. Overall the main problem is the graphics card is bad but processor speed and the RAM is OK. My conclusion out of 10. = 6/10

Yes but it over priced and over rated. You can get a far better spec HP for that and they are good all round.

I think the only thing letting it down is the onboard graphics but since you are going to use your playstation for games i would say yes this is a good laptop.
