Hello,
I bought a PC (HP 17) that has an AMD Quad-Core A8-7410 processor and a Raedon R7 graphics card, and I wanted to know your experience or opinion on this processor and graphics card.
Thank you

Hi,

My experience with AMD APUs in laptops can be summed up in one simple word: overheating.

Overheating issues with APUs in laptops are very common, and aside from that, the CPU performance remains somewhat lacking... I prefer Intel, which tends to be slightly more performant in this area.

Thank you very much, and can I play Fortnite? If so, with what settings?

Knowing that the machine is capable of overheating even without playing...

So, playing it, I don't think so... I keep it in thermal safekeeping (overheating, therefore), while playing an old "Age Of Empire"... Not sure that Fortnite, which is more demanding, will run without causing overheating or being unplayable, as it will be so slow ;-(

In terms of performance, just think of it as being almost equivalent to an Intel Pentium N4000 in a laptop and lower than a current Intel Celeron in a desktop... So, clearly far from being a powerhouse, being performant, and allowing gaming!

Besides, Fortnite requires a Core i3 or a Core i5 in its minimum and recommended configurations... Your APU is far from that. I'm not even talking about the graphics part...
