Is this a good laptop?

[ABHIonPC]

I'm planning to buy a laptop for playing games at medium settings at 30-40 FPS.
This is the laptop that im planning to buy as it is under my budget which is $650-$700.

HP Pavilion 15-n210/n215se Notebook PC specs ($680):-
1. Intel Core i5-4200U 1.6 GHz
2. 4 GB RAM (8 GB RAM also an option)
3. NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2 GB DDR3
4. Windows 8 64-bit (OS doesn't matter to me)

I will be buying this laptop in the next month and not in States or UK, but in a Middle Eastern country called Oman(do Google it). This is the only laptop that i found in my budget which is $700, below and also available in my region. I know if I put the same money into a gaming rig, I would get better performance. I already have a gaming rig. the only reason I'm buying a laptop is for school and also that me and my friends decide to go to one persons house for LAN parties. My budget is 700$ and I cannot go any further. I will not be buying this but my parents will( I'm 16).

Also if you find a better laptop that is under my budget please do recommend that is well and i will take it into consideration.

Thanks in advance.

That'll suit your needs fine except in crysis 3 and games of that calibur

Agreed with firo40 for the most part. A 740M won't go far but it's definitely better than the integrated Intel graphics. The i5 is a good processor too. If you can find something with a 840M or 850M NVidia chip, that would be better in performance and for battery life.
