Hello Fellow readers I am Planning to buy a new laptop for the following requirements-

  1. hardcore coding
  2. running softwares such as Adobe after effects, Adobe flash, photoshop
  3. playing games like GTA V, Battelfield 4, COD Advanced warfare

For me a bit of lag is acceptable. I mean I can live with that.
I have shortlisted the following laptop


HP Pavilion 15-AB516TX Notebook (T0Z59PA) (6th Gen Intel Core i5- 8GB RAM- 1TB HDD- 39.62 cm(15.6)- Windows 10- 2GB Graphics) (Silver) - Buy HP Pavilion 15-AB516TX Notebook (T0Z59PA) (6th Gen Intel Core i5- 8GB RAM- 1TB HDD- 39.62 cm(15.6)- Windows 10- 2GB Graphics) (Silver) Online at Low Price in India - Snapdeal


My budget is 50K.

I need your advice on my choice and alternatives If avaliable

If you plan to play games, focus on the GPU instead of the CPU.

Also, i7 4720 is much better than the dual core i5 6200U.

First of all its the wrong thread. Some mod, please shift it

That Asus one has seller warranty not manufacturer warranty, so do remember that if you are buying it. Also it has 768p screen rather than 1080p in HP
