New Laptop Advice

[AntonisD]

Hey guys,

After almost 8 years of having my HP Compaq nx9420, I think it's time for a new laptop!

What I am mainly looking for is something futureproof. I will use it mostly for web surfing, emails, watching movies and maybe a bit of casual gaming (desktop is not an option as I move around a lot).

This i what I have in mind:
HP Pavilion i7 3632QM 2.2 GHz/15.6"/4GB RAM/500GB/Radeon HD 8670 2GB

Please note that I can't afford something more expensive.

Thanks

Thanks LummusMaximus! Will do!

Do u guys think 4GB RAM is too little? Should I install more?

4GB is enough, but Win8 works beset with 8GB or more. I definitely recommend ensuring you have two matching memory sticks if you do upgrade, i.e. x2 4GB 1600MHz rather than x1 4GB 1600MHz and x1 2GB 1333MHz, as this improves overall system speed.
