I purchased this laptop for programming and little bit for gaming. My friend suggested buying this laptop . Now, I am happy with this laptop . Hp services are very nice.
This laptop becomes right choice for me.
now, coming to performance, the performance of its i5 processor so great . there is less hanging problem . this comes with NVidia 2GB graphics memory. So, gaming becomes easy. And high quality videos are just run as liquid.
Battery: Battery backup is about 3.5 hours after fully charging. This is enough I think. Only one problem is of heating. Others are saying that heating problem is there. But I know the laptop will become heat only you-you are graphics memory. That means you are gaming will heat your laptop. I suggest you to install all latest drivers so that your system will run properly. According to me this laptop is great in this budget.
