We have an old desktop at home and a big wooden table for it at home. My parents decided to get a new laptop/tablet instead. This laptop interested me *bit.ly/17mbksg reviews and advice please...

P.s i dont mind a tablet either but that needs be around 20 max. (New nexus 7★)

AND should preferably be able to ply FIFA 14 on it.

snapdeal has CoD...
i dont think it is haswell
HD 2000?
i know its is spec wise poor but has great looks (that sleekbook)
there are other models in sleekbook line with amd but cannot fine them online
and if it costs 21k online it will surely be 25k in local hp showrooms
