Hi,
How is this laptop HP Pavilion 15-p028TX Notebook ? Is this processor too weak for new games? Will I experience lag while watching full HD videos??

Core i3 4030U

Ram 4GB

Thanks

You will certainly experience lag in most game. Only older game will be possible in low settings

I have the machine. Flipkart reviews suggest even Watch Dogs is playable at medium settings, but I've tested Metro 2033 and it looks good and playable. Latest games' ULTRA settings will obviously not be playable because then the price would be insanely low. Right now, it's just a damn steal. Older games (2011 and pre) will run at ultra, especially if you up that RAM. Tomb Raider's TressFX will make it unplayable. The white finish is a dirt magnet, the battery life is above par thanks to the low voltage RAM and CPU. Any other questions?

That's from the p029tx...the (frankly horrible) aqua blue variant of this laptop
