Which laptop is good for gaming

[ali_211]

There are two laptops one is HP ba021ax with 2 GB r7 dedicated graphics card and other is HP ba001ax with r5 graphic card.Guys remember that the upper one has dedicated graphics card.
Which one is good for gaming?

Neither are good, do you have a desktop PC or is this going to be your primary gaming device?
A desktop PC will give you significantly better performance for the money.

No I have a Acer laptop with r3 dedicated graphics it runs GTA 5 smoothly on medium settings

I'm telling you; neither is good for the money.
Get a desktop PC and keep with the current laptop you have.
What is your budget?
What are the prices on those laptops?

As advised above, Desktop will ALWAYS be a better gaming option if you don't travel. Grab a decent 6th Gen ci5 with mobo and any medium gpu would blow all these options away!

*7th gen. 😛

i assume he's on a budget, and there's little difference between 6th and 7th, so why not cheaper one?

Regardless even if you're on a budget, a PC will blow any laptop out of the water.
Also @Junaid Balouch, they cost the same, 7th gen just performs better.

 

[Junaid Balouch]

oh the irony.. That speaks volumes about how similar they are 😀
Usually when a better performing new one arrives prices drop. Which they didn't.

No?
The old ones stay the same at retail, that's how its always been with Intel.
It performs 10% better, they're not similar, the only thing they have in common is the same process. (14nm+)
Take a look at prices, if you're not happy go to Intel.
