[NBA] A laptop for light gaming

[aimi95]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a laptop which suits my needs i.e. university work + light gaming + portability.
I will be using some software like Turbo C++,dream weaver , some image editing softwares etc. Plus I will do a lil gaming on this laptop , games like CS:GO and Stronghold 3 "BUT" I want to play CS:GO on high-ultra settings. Battery timing should be 2 hours minimum with gaming (I think 6 cell battery is good for me). And I want to get a durable laptop which can last me around 3-4 years.
My BUDGET IS UPTO 60k
Currently I'm looking at

HP Pavilion 15-E053SE Core i5 with Windows 8 & AMD 8670M 2GB Dedicated (E0Y27EA) Price in Pakistan

and

HP Pavilion 15-E057SE Core i5 with AMD 8670M 2GB Dedicated (E0Y46EA) Price in Pakistan


but I have no idea about the performance of HP laptops as no one in my family has used HP but I've heard good things about HP from my friends who are using it. What do you guys say?
Thanks for your help in advance

No one....?

I myself am looking at a laptop for around 55k.

IMO, HP laptops are the worst when it comes to gaming, their cooling system is shit. Their laptops overheat too damn much.

Though a generation old, both are good. Go for it.

But I've checked some video reviews and according to them HP Coolsense technology is really impressive.

Thanks for advice brother but I really don't play these games. I just play competitive CS:GO.

Do you have DDR3 or DDR5 version of that card in your laptop? and did you face any problem in switchable graphics drivers?

All mobile GPU notebooks in pakistan have ddr3 vram.GDDR5 is for enthusiat level gaming GPUs and thus the price gets high.ATI enduro technology like nvidia optimus has evolved enough not to cause any problems in switchable graphics option

aaaa. brother, have you ever played CS:GO on your laptop? if so then please share the results.

It is ddr5, Switchible graphics has not been an issue.. you just use the catalyst control panel and set the .exe of the game file to high performance and the dedicated gpu takes over the burden from the HD graphics 3000. It also has an ssd so boot times are nice. But the downside is that this laptop is kind of fragile ... So extra care is required. It's no the rough use laptop. it's an ultrabook.

The performance of HD 8850m is like HD 7750 which is a good enough for 1336x768.

Bro if you want to game i'd suggest that you get a desktop. I bought the laptop cause i thought i'll take it to school for studies and play games..turns out i just play games on it and barely go to school lmao. So just chill and get a desktop. You won't regret it.
