blue backlit for 25 dollar upgrade
turbo boost to 3.3 GHZ
BluRay drive, not sure if its a burner though
15-6 inch screen
thats going to be around 775 w/o tax... i suggest getting the upgrade to the better graphics card (650m 2gb) (125$) bluetooth (15$), and the 1080p screen (150$). also the 750 gig 7200 rpm hard drive (10$) would be a very good choice. now the price would be around.... 1250 with tax. but you have to use the coupon code white100 to get the extra 100 dollars off. can run any game on ultra 30 plus FPS.
EDIT nope, the price would be 1167.71 with NY tax already added on. this computer did come out in 2012 also.... i think you knew the computer i explained was already on your mind lol...
EDIT broken link! sorry! heres the new clickable one

Is this a good low budget gaming laptop?
Alfred
Ok so I was looking at this laptop (I have a budget of £500) and I found this laptop for £429.99
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-g6-2399sa-15-6-laptop-white-21449716-pdt.html
Its a HP Pavilion G6-2399sa
It has a quad core AMD A10-4600M APU Processor (2.3ghz 4 mb cache)
8GB RAM
Radeon HD 7660G Integrated graphics card along with 3.98 GB of extra memory for the graphics card.
I am looking to play games mainly minecraft GTA IV and maybe some skyrim will this laptop lend well to playing these games on low to high settings? Also if anyone has a laptop in my budget that is similar or better feel free to list it and ill check it out :)
Answer
First, basic quality by brand and sub-brand
At Lenovo, their "everyday" is Essentials. At HP, they have Compaq and Pavilion both covering the cheap stuff, and at Dell is Inspiron, and Toshiba has Satellite and Acer has Gateway, but even Acer brand is cheap stuff also.

but that is all computers, so also

HP Pavilion deserves no price premium based on this data.

That allows basic evaluation.
AMD A10-4600M APU Passmark score: 3146
Rank #167 by Notebookcheck.
Gaming rank #192 for HD 7660G
Curry's including the £100 cashback sale on laptops of £499 and higher, plus a normal good online shop of value being Saveonlaptops are usually best to look at now.
To beat the HP, need either a better price on an A10 laptop, or one with a true discrete graphics card better than the HD 7660G.

Lenovo Z580 with Intel® Core⢠i5-3230M Dual Core Processor, 15.6" HD Screen, Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1000GB HDD, DVD Rewriter, Dedicated GT 635M 2GB Graphics, 2.65kg, in your choice of white or red.
Much faster CPU than the HP. Much better graphics performance than the HP. More total DRAM via the 2GB dedidated as extra. same size HDD. Equal or better in sub-brand reliability. Clearly worth the extra £70 and slightly higher weight about that of the graphics card you get.
Passmark score: 4012 27% higher performance
Rank #76 by Notebookcheck - a huge gaming advantage cpu.
Gaming rank #132 for GT 635M, - unquestionably superior gaming.

Acer £470 or a little cheaper with less DRAM is also OK.
Intel® Core⢠i3-2377M Dual Core Processor, 15.6" HD Screen, Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit, 10GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD + 20GB SSD, DVD Rewriter, Dedicated GT 640M Graphics, 2.2 Kg
Brand quality slightly lower than the HP and notably lower than the Ideapad.
CPU performance much lower in performance. Smaller but faster by SSD Acceleration HDD, overflowing abundance of RAM (or cut cost to a usually sufficient 4+2GB), and the golden charm is the GT 640M and 2.2kg weight moved up to rank #105 in gaming if your games are sufficient with the i3.

Medium-high on Skyrim held to about 25 to 30 fps by the CPU at the settings as expected.

The Lenovo has the far better CPU, but the gaming settings may be very slightly lower by GT 635M vs GT 640M. Including more games of higher CPU requirements, and considering the overall specifications, I would get the Lenovo and sacrifice a couple of frames per second in Skyrim (and GTA4 and Minecraft) for a faster overall performance and bigger HDD and higher quality of the Lenovo, but they are both better than the HP. Make note of a Toshiba L870 that is a 17.3" also better than the HP if interested in it.
44 laptops at Curry's UK in price range to consider.
Seeing the same HP at the same price since PCWORLD and Curry's are affiliated. We are dissappointed that the high quality Samsung's and Asus below 500 quid are HD 4000, as are the Touchscreen Lenovo's and highly discounted ultrabooks, because we need a good graphics card.
We note an HP Envy m6-1232ea at 550 minus 100 cashback with the good i5 CPU and HD 7670M graphics card better than the A10 Pavilion, but not good enough to beat the Lenovo in projected quality or performance, nor the Acer in performance.
Gaming: Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, HP Envy, HP Pavilion in that order.
Quality: Lenovo, HP Envy, Toshiba, HP Pavilion, Acer in that order.
