okay so right now i have an old Dell Inspiron 14z laptop. it has the i5 processor with 8GB of RAM, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and a 500GB Hard drive. the laptop for the most part is fine however the screen has a problem that for some reason cant be fixed. iv had it at several computer shops and everyone says its fine even though it isnt. however with the graphics card thats in it it isnt going to do what id like it too.

i would like to use this computer for light gaming ie: playing minecraft, fallout 4, skyrim. things like that.

the computer im looking at buying is a Dell Inspiron 15 5555 series. it has an AMD a10-8700p processor with the Radeon R6 graphics card. 12GB of RAM and 1TB hard drive. im seeing mixed reviews about this laptop and was wondering what everyone thought of it, if it would do what im wanting it to, and if it is a good upgrade at all.

thanks.
 
Buy a gaming laptop if you really want to game. Be prepared to spend about $800-1000 on it. The r6 graphics is still onboard cpu die graphics which won't play games all that well.
