Is this laptop good for gaming?

[ShanGaming]

Hi,

I was looking at this laptop and was wondering if it's a good choice?

Is it good for gaming? And can I dual boot Mac OS on it?

Thanks!!!!

big surprise, hp site is not working, again

about osx

if you want osx, buy a mac, that is guaranteed to run osx, and now windows too

Well I'm trying to game as well so Mac is a no go. Try this link:

i am not a big fan of hp

if your budget allows it, this one is what i would buy

the gpu is not that big, but is decent enough for 1080p

if you press configure, you need to select the one with gtx1050ti, the other has less ram and weaker gpu, also consider buying it with the 16 gbs already installed, it is alot of money as you see

With the 1050 2gb gpu?

 

[ShanGaming]

Yeah. But the 17 inch model is too big and I'd rather get the 15 inch. Do you know if the 4K screen is good?

 

[atljsf]

higher resolutions will make the battery last less

i would get the 4 gb 1050ti, as you see they are mixing options there for gpu but only one cpu available

about screen size, if you are going to carry it, yes 15" is better but all models are heavy, 4 or 5 kilograms, and the power adapter
