Comments

Today this may be considered a dated processor to be making use of and laptops that have this are generally older models as well. Still, if someone is looking for a budget buy today this processor with an HP laptop would work for you especially if your tasks need everyday computing power.

An HP laptop with a Core i5 3rd generation chip would be able to handle games well; unless they are the latest ones as the requirements have gone up a lot since this chip was released.
