Hiya, I’m looking to buy a new laptop to use at university, because my current one is pretty slow. I don’t know much about technology, so I’m not entirely sure what to get. I like playing overwatch, but I don’t really want to get a laptop just for gaming because they seem a bit pricy? Overwatch has pretty low-ish requirements , and can be run on i3 and upwards but I have no idea what NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 or AMD Radeon™ HD 7950 video means? Other than that, using word and PowerPoint and watching videos will be the main things I will use it for. I was looking at the  HP Pavilion 14-ce1999na  or the HP Pavilion 15-cw0999na?

I personally recommend you get something with a NVIDIA 1030 at the very least (Known as MX150) for dedicated graphics. 

The HP Pavillion Gaming Laptop looks like a decent buy at 700bucks for a 1050 with 2GB VRAM.. Its not a powerhouse but it wont break the bank either.

You can get if with a white keyboard too so it doesnt look too Gamerish> https://store.hp.com/us/en/ConfigureView?catalogId=10051&langId=-1&storeId=10151&urlLangId=&catEntry...

 

My personal build:
+White Keyboard +10bucks 

+1050Ti (4GB VRAM) +50bucks
= 780 bucks 

Now that is a good decent entry-level laptop at a killer price.
