The last game I played on it was Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. And after that, I tried to play Fallout 4, but my computer is not playing it. And after Fallout 4, I couldn't play any game. I know that it's a high time that I should get a new machine. But still. Anyone who can recommend a good budget Laptop...
