HP Pavilion DV5-1299ee

Hi People!
I have recently bought the HP Pavilion DV5-1299ee Entertainment PC.
do you think this machine is powerful?
I have researched everywhere about this laptop, but I can't find it.
And I would like to ask for the price of the machine in US Dollars, Because the HP laptops are so expensive in Saudi Arabia.

I will really appreiciate you reply.
Regards

 

What will you be using it for?

And what are the specs?

I guess some games and HD movies. And daily processes.
I would like to know what games can I run on the GPU.

Thank you

 

Ok. Those specs are very nice!
It will work very well for you.

You could run any game out now on it.
Of course, higher-end games on lower settings. Games like COD4/5 and Crysis on ~Medium/Medium-High.
Games like Half Life 2, CS:S, Team Fortress Maxed out.

What certain games are you planning to play?

 

That is great to hear. I play racing games, and shooting games. Could I play Assian Creed on this GPU?
BTW What is the actual price of this machine? Why isn't price avaliable on the HP website?

 

Yes, it can.

Well, in the US, the dv5 is no longer offered. No clue why, but they discontinued it here a while ago.

But i would estimate it be around ~$1400-1500 USD.
