What do you think of this laptop?
I want to play some games on it, but, it's a laptop so I dunno if it will be good enough. I looked at the minimum req. for games that I'd like to play and it looks fine. But I just wanna confirm this with you guys.

HP 15.6" Laptop

Native Screen Resolution: 1366 x 768

Processor Type: Intel Core i7-3610QM, Quad Core, 2.30ghz

Hard Drive Capacity: 1TB, 5400rpm hard drive speed

8GB of ram, ram type DDR3 SDRAM, two ram slots

Graphics Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

Dedicated Video Memory Size: 2048 MB DDR3

And I think that's all the important stuff, but if you want more info, just ask. Thanks everyone Smile

The screens resolution's might mess up a lot of games. It looks really weird.

What Nuud' and Seriously said. The screen resolution is awkward as heck, but if it has a VGA port then you could easily hook it up to a monitor for better resolution. Looks fine for gaming though!

Awesome. So how bad is the screen resolution? Like how awkward does it look. Could I get past it(Like get used to it, or will it be a big problem)?

I have this res, and it's fine to me, I have other bigger ones, but it looks fine for the games I play.

Nothing is wrong with it, it's just an odd resolution choice.

Ok. So basically, it could be better but I'll do fine with it?

Megav365, it should be fine for most things - If it isn't, just get a bog-standard external monitor. They're very cheap nowadays.

It's especially funny because after using the new laptop the screen looks amazing and not bad at all. Works on TF2, Blacklight: Retribution had some troubles due to graphics card drivers but don't think that has much to do with screen resolution. Only problem I ever had with it is playing Minecraft, large and normal GUI is the same. which is a little weird Confused

RE: What do you think of this laptop?
Sorry for late reply but here ya go-- playing Minecraft with large or normal GUI is the exact same. They both look like normal. Little weird, I'd rather have them be different from each other.
