Hi all, Newbie to this site but was hoping for some help please. My 15 year old son has asked for a laptop for christmas wanting to use for school work and also gaming. Ive looked at all the specifications on the games he would like and have picked out a few different laptops but not sure they will play games. He wants games like sims, skyrim, etc

The laptop im drawn to is:
HP 15-g094sa 15.6"
AMD A8-6410 APU
Windows 8.1
Memory: 8 GB
Hard drive: 1 TB
Graphics: AMD Radeon R5 which i believe is a built in graphics card.
Is this laptop going to be any good any help would be much appreciated.

 
Solution
This laptop can run some games on HD resolution like Battlefield 4 -15FPS but Metro Last light - 9 FPS . A laptop with Geforce 840M can run everything . 820M is acceptable .
