An HP Pavilion laptop having AMD A6 4400 processor, 2.4 GHz clock speed, 4 MB cache, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 750 GB HDD (5400 rpm) and ATI Radeon 7520 graphics will be good for normal uses? I want to have it for internet browsing, watching movies and youtube videos, and specially for playing games. Will it be a good choice?
 
Specs wise: I agree with markwp. It's always a good idea to compare other manufacturers laptops of similar specifications against each other to see what kind of deal you're getting, and to see what buyers had to say from personal experience.
 
All HP? HP is really not known for gaming notebooks. All three of those are comparable though. The first two have a VERY slightly faster processor. You really won't see a discernible difference in FPS between one or the other though while gaming.
 
Those 3 notebooks are within my budget range and they have 2 GB graphics cards. So i thought they might be ok for gaming?? Do you have any suggestion?
 
I'm not sure what TK currency is, but if you let me know then I can convert it to USD rates and give you some suggestions!

In the meantime, I will say Sager/Clevo and the Lenovo Y series are a good value. Also, don't worry about how many GB the graphics cards have. 1 GB is ample; what's more important are the other specs of the card.
 
Yes, more video memory is better for professional software - such as CAD - but for gaming, it's not that important.

From what that site offers, I think the HP Probook P4540S is your best choice. :) There are other brands I would recommend over HP, but since you are limited to your area, that looks like a good model for you!

Hopefully that helps!
 
So i won't need dedicated graphics? The integrated intel hd graphics should be enough?

If thats the case I'm going with what you've said, probook 4540s. And yes, thanks for your help. This site is awesome! :)
 


That depends on the software, but the HP 4540s has dedicated AMD Radeon graphics, so you should be good. :)
 


To widen your choice, I suggest you look at Asus K55n ds81. For quality, price, speed and overall performance, the Asus K55n is a deal.. CLICK this link for more details:) http://www.squidoo.com/asus-k55n-ds81-price-review
