I bought this for gaming purpose.and its working very fine.even I am getting very good fps on cs1.6 and its never get lagged.Even I can do multi tasking on this lappy still its dont hang. I can recommand this lappy for low budget gaming purpose.some hp sellers are providing student offer ont his lappy so it will be available for affordable prices for the studnet also.it is easy to carry anywhere, low weight and easy to take anywhere. Better backup is also good its can run till 3 to 3.5 hr after 100% charging
