To all HP haters, I played skyrim yesterday continuously for 12 hours, with cool sense at performance optimized. It was running perfectly well on high settings, and only once it touched 95 degrees, average around 80. And the temps are lower with cool sense on coolest.
@OP seeing graphics the dv4 is the best....... but if you want better processor and screen get asus x53.
Get this deep inside your head!
Coolsense is not a software from some alien planet,you can control/tweak your system,increase/decrease fan speed and a lot more with other software too.
What matters most is the construction,position of the fans/vents etc.
HP did fail miserably in these depts in not so remote past,and their service is very bad to say the least.
In any case,o.p is not going to get a top notch gaming laptop within 42k,and all the models discussed here are almost same with below average build and downright pathetic TN panel display.
I would suggest a brand which has the best after sales service,because most of these laptops give trouble within a couple of year of usage.
dear brother(s), after you suggested me to buy asus I went to asus shop and saw some lapptopps, they didnt look quite good to me, after that I tried to convince my mind to buy asus, but when I told my dad that I am going to buy an "AA-SOOS" laptop.
he said "What?"
I repeated again "A-SUS"
he didnt know this brand, you wanna know what he said?
"No need to waste my money on some brand I havent even heard of"
and one of my friend said it as a china lappi(he is a dumbass when it comes to technology)
so bhaiyo please dont take it personally, and thanks a megaton for your time that I've wasted.
and I will never play any game for more than 3 hours(super maximum coz I have to study a lot)
That does not really mean anything.
Asus is right up there with Alienware,Sager and other biggies when it comes to gaming machines.HP does not even come in the equation when you talk about gaming laptops(I was a gamer too not a long ago!)
Your ignorance about something does not make it any inferior,does it?
Probably you do not know,most laptops are assembled in China(yes,your beloved HP too)
Only non China manufactured laptop I have come across till now(trust me,I have seen thousands over the years) is Fujitsu Lifebook and a Toughbook.
I bet you have not heard about them too.
Go ahead if you have faith in HP,there are happy customers too
