But my last HP was my last HP. Burned badly so I can't give the nod to that company as many have reported in warranty support stories. Mine is at https://www.cnet.com/forums/post/e2f56129-a715-405f-a7fb-b59044e1165d/

Overall nothing really looks off with this model. The only area that could upset a few is the LCD results. In this class that looks OK for the dollar.
So I am trying to decide on a new laptop more geared towards light gaming and productivity. Not being very tech savvy most stats are over my head. I was hoping to get some input. I am looking at these two, but am open to options in this price range.
