Is this a good Laptop?

[lancher10]

I wanted to get myself and new laptop. I was looking into this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i5-6gb-memory-750gb-hard-drive-natural-silver-ash-silver/9925484.p?id=1219450404858&skuId=9925484

Is it good. If not, what is a good one.

Thanks.

It is not bad for that price. But do not expect any gaming except on very low settings. If you want a good laptop you should look into $800 or more models, which should include (in my opinion):
-1080p resolution
-Intel i5 or better
-Dedicated videocard: look at this list for some pointers http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html

I do some gaming and most of the games are games like cs:go or indie games. I think this would be fine for me but I'm looking for some better laptops.

If you're on a tight budget you might consider a laptop with an AMD A8 or A10 apu, which do have decent gaming capabilities. They will play about any game at low/medium settings.

Intel hd is just bad. Look for ones with nvidia.

Yeah. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have an optical drive.
