Hey guys I am looking for a laptop which suits my needs on work and allows me to play FIFA for sometime.

I am thinking of HP x360 s102tu with 6th generation i3 and 4 GB of RAM. This coming right in my budget of 42K from a local store. Some reviews on internet suggested that it goes long for 6 and a half hours under regular usage of WiFi. That's a kickass thing for me in this budget.

Battery is my main concern.. Give your feedback about what I have chosen + If you have any better suggestion.

Thanks and Cheers!

That seems to be good choice for a light weight good battery life laptop

You can play FIFA 14, maybe 15.... Don't expect it to play any game released in last few years

I Bought this laptop today. Performance is pretty cool.. The only issue I have is that it's showing 3.90 GB of RAM usable out of 4GB

Usable memory is a calculated amount of the total physical memory minus "hardware reserved" memory.
It won't be an issue. It can be fixed, google it out if you want to.

The performance is absolutely cool. Touch is flawless and pin point accurate. There are some bugs in windows 10 which irritates at times. Those aren't the major ones.. It's just the triple touch swap up for switching between desktops

@pinku1993, Congrats on your purchase.
Bugs in Windows 10 will be ironed out gradually with Windows 10 system updates/upgrades.

^ That's it if you want for upgrade in RAM modules,say total 8GB by adding another 4GB DDR3 or a single 8GB DDR3 to make it 12GB,just remember to purchase any manufacturer's RAM module having 1.35v voltage value and never 1.5v as it happens for standard laptops.

Yeah for sure. If you guys are planning to buy this laptop I guess you should buy it if portability, battery and looks are your priorities and that too without compromising on performance.
