HP Pavilion 15-ab150sa Thoughts?

[AuthorFilms Studios]

I'm planning on using my HP Pavilion 15-ab150sa as a cheap, mild secondary laptop. It has 8GB of RAM, 2TB HDD and an AMD A8-7410 APU. According to some sites, it is the equivalent of an i3, which (in my books, is not very good). How good do you think it would be for video rendering/gaming. Very Bad (1), Bad (2), OK (3), Good (4), Very Good (5)?

Good/Bad is very relative depending on games, resolution, and FPS expectations.
But to answer your question:

Gamaing = Bad

Video Rendering = Very Bad.

In specs it is equivalent to an i3, in benchmarks the A8 (or even A10) is noticeably inferior as the architecture is much less efficient.

The internal GPU of the A8 is certainly better then the internal graphics of intel chips but not better then most any integrated GPU.
