I want to buy an HP Pavillion and i have found two models within acceptable price ranges. I dont need a lot out of a computer, just good enough to run things like GIMP, Minecraft, TF2, and the like. Dont spam me with comments like "Those are terrible gaming computers because they are cheap" because my friend has a pavillion and he uses it for more than i would. Besides, im not spending more than what these cost.
I also would like video editing, but i know that takes more computer than what these are. I probably wouldnt use anything more than windows movie maker.
Computer 1: HP Pavilion dm1-4010us
Computer 2: HP Pavilion 14-b010us

No one likes the one with the bigger graphics card? It's like 4 times bigger than the other one. Wouldn't that be good if I want to play minecraft on high quality?

Eh.. Not really. You'll end up hitting a bottleneck thanks to that awful CPU, and thus won't be able to use the better card to its full potential.

I have similar specs and can barley run TF2, but can run gimp and MC ok, both computers are fine, I say go for the bigger screen.

Second one has a larger screen.
Everything else is pretty much the same. Although I wouldn't want either of them.
Can't handle my gamezzz.

I honestly don't know too much about computers, but this comment is being written on an HP Pavilion G7, and it serves me pretty darn well in gaming. I suggest it, it was only $400. The screen is a very good size, probably about 14 inches, but I haven't measured it or looked it up. I highly recommend it.

I would say the HP Pavilion 14-b010us because it's an Intel i3 2377M and has 4GB DDR3 ram. Even though the graphics card isn't as good.
You should seriously look for other PCs than HP Pavilions, you get much better PCs for around the same price and cheaper.
