:/ " A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources."
Please reply to my question...

:lol:
For 30k its good IMO. BTW better options are there too.

Thanks for the reply. I have been thinking to buy hp 15 d103tx but its price has been increased. I was also thinking to buy either hp e026ax or e001ax but now they are out of stock.

Is this processor too weak for new games? Will I experience lag while watching full HD videos?

A bottleneck is also device which is found above bottles. My reply was intended as a pun.

Yes, that processor is very weak for games. FHD vids will not hang.
Look at Lenovo G500s if you intend to game even a little.

As I expected :D ...

I bought this laptop(white) for 31.6k from flipkart and got it on Friday. Laptop is looking very good. Tried crysis 2 and watchdogs. Crysis 2 playable at high settings. Watchdogs lags when driving (@high settings).

But the keyboard of the laptop is damaged and I requested for replacement from flipkart. The problem is that the up arrow key sometimes remain there when pressed. My question is should I replace it if possible or go to service centre?

Did you p028tx? Btw increasing the ram would make that watchdog driving problem go away.

Yes, I bought it. RAM cannot be upgraded and hard disk cannot be changed, I think. Watch p029tx review on YouTube. Are you buying this laptop??

No but you can certainly help me out. Please. I've finalised a lenovo laptop with a decent gpu but with 4th gen i5 'U' processor. So I was wondering if this laptop can perform. Notebookcheck shows decent results for a laptop with same configuration.
But tell me since your an owner of similar processor. Should I buy it? I'll do only casual gaming.

You sure about the ram? I think every laptop has two ram slots including yours.
