Is this laptop decent for gaming

[sal_rc]

Currently I'm considering HP 15-ab125AX with amd a10 8700p
Or hp 15-ac179TX with core i-5 6200.
Any other options around this price?

This won't be my primary gaming machine.

No. Those are not gaming laptops. You may be able to find a used or discontinued model with dedicated graphics that can play some games at lower settings.

@archaic59 they have dedicated graphics.
One has amd r6 m360 and other r5 m330

Propably the a10 8700 intergrated gpu would play some games at 720p medium,but you cant consider this as gaming capable.

@lifespill this won't be my primary gaming machine, I have a desktop for that but I'm in need of laptop so I want to know if this can do some decent gaming at 720p

I was thinking more of an Nvidia 940M or 960M. The AMD is low power and the CPU is weak also. The i5 would probably run cooler and perform better.

Yes r7 m360 is decent for 720p gaming at medium,you can also check on youtube some games with this gpu.

Imo if you want just a laptop for simple gaming the r7m360 is excellent.

@archaic59 well my budget don't allow 940m or higher but the GPU with Intel is m330 while with amd it's m360 so I'm more inclined towards amd

@lifespill what about the amd CPU,would its performance be good?
