gaming
i would recommend getting a laptop with atleast a #50 (650,750,850) graphics card or higher for gaming
but it also depends on the games you want to play

^ An SSD can replace the HDD he has if he wants to. But I don't think that a 5400 rpm HDD would drastically affect the FPS of games he could play on such a laptop. IMO its fine...
5400rpm is slow in booting up, copying larger files, and when games are loading, however, after loading it becomes normal.
You can always change to SSD later. ...
Americans pass over such deals, but we pakistanis have to grab such opportunities because we dont get such prices. This laptop would cost well over 130,000 and the sad part is that there are people who would buy it. For the specs and price this laptop offers, this is a very nice purchase.
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
