Laptop for watching movies/light gaming

[Dejan Kozarski]

I am buying a laptop to replace my old desktop since I am moving and will be needing something more compact and mobile.

Budget: 450£ (630$) max, but preferably under 400£ (560$)

Main purpose: general use, watching movies and some light gaming

Mostly interested what I need to look for in components, but specific laptop suggestions are also welcome.

I would surely say intel i3 6th or 5th gen, 4gb or 6gb or 8 gb ram, hard drive according to your use, don't need graphic card in case you are not looking for heavy gaming. I think the integrated 6th gen i3 can support gta v at low setting. I can say some models but not sure if that will be available there.
1)HP 15-ac122tu
2)HP 15-AC098TU
3)HP 15-AC047TU
4)Lenovo U41-70 80JV007DIN

I would prefer HP 350 G1 or G2, it's pretty good for movies and great for light gaming! I watch movies in 1080p, and play PAYDAY 2, CoD : Black Ops, Minecraft, Counter Strike : Global Offensive and many other games in 30-60FPS, PLUS if you are a game dev this is the laptop for you! (well not any games, indies are created using low-end PCs)

The laptop's specs are pretty good!
