  3. Question

    Would this laptop run Minecraft well/decently?

    • Dan –

      You can expect a very smooth gameplay with more than 60 fps on 1080p FHD resolution and Fancy settings with a 12-chunk render distance. Check out a gameplay video here: https://youtu.be/Ds9g2HM5HaE?t=981

  4. Question

    Britt –

    • Dan –

      It should run well on 1080p resolution and medium graphics detail settings. Check out this YouTube video showing Sims 4 and other games running on the same CPU / GPU / RAM as on the HP 15-dy5131wm: https://youtu.be/Ds9g2HM5HaE?t=1693

  5. Question

    Jay –

    Is the screen wide viewing angle?

    • Dan –

      Hi, they don’t say whether the screen is WVA (wide viewing angle), also referred to as IPS. This is from the official specs sheet of the 15-dy5131wm: 15.6″ diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), micro-edge, anti-glare, 250 nits, 45% NTSC. They usually highlight in the specs if the display is WVA / IPS, which is not the case here. So I assume it is not WVA.
