Hi all
I am buying a laptop but need help with specs.
The laptop I want is here http://www.harveynorman.ie/computing/laptops/hp-pavilion-15-laptop-15-ab079na.html

But I'm not sure how good it is as I want it for both college work and playing games on like football manager 16, sim city games..

All I have is €550 for a laptop
Many thanks
