Well as you can see from the benchmarks, you'll have trouble running anything demanding at more than low settings but most games will be playable at medium.

What exactly do you need help on?

  • the benchmark says that i'll get around 30+ fps on most games except thief and maybe hitman.
  • i want to able to play my steam games and Dragon Age 3, The witcher 3 and Shadow of Mordor at a medium setting with decent FPS

There are quite a few more than two examples. Anything demanding along the lines of Crysis isn't happening. Since I don't have a crystal ball, we can only guess and say that Witcher 3 is not going to run on medium and it is doubtful either of the other two will either.

At that price range the Z510 is recommanded. You will never need that i7, believe me the processor wont be the bottleneck in here.
I dont know where you live but here you can buy a lenovo z510 with a pentium 3550M and 740M and it's decently built.

When the specs of a computer are outstanding for the price range(i7, 8750....) you have to ask yourself where did the engineers tightened the budget? Usually it's the build material, cooling....

Edit: I mixed up the g510 with another notebook, it's actually pretty nicely built a bit like y510p, but I would look for a weaker cpu version( i5-4200M or under), because it still wont be able to properly cool an i7. Or the mentioned z510, 8750 is only a tiny bit stronger than the 740M.

If you could give me a link of the laptop or the shops where you browse for a laptop I might be able to find something.
Also buying a second hand business class notebook might be a good idea.

To be honest, it's not that great but it'll do I guess since you want to play at around 30FPS.

I recommend building a PC yourself though if you can.

Why do you get 8Gb flash? is it enough for Win8.1?
get more (32 will be best), but honestly, most HDD are fast enough for gaming. the initial startup may be slower, but why do you care?

Looks like you got plenty of comments on the specs, so Ill comment on the machine itself.
I have a similar lenovo for quite sometime and the build quality is pretty good, battery is kinda the average for laptops, I really like the keyboard and touchpad, but the sound is kinda low - ofc, wont be quite a problem cause you probably will be playing with headphones :)

Hope it helps

i recommend avoid lenovo with AMD GPUs.they can befaulty from manufacture. I bought 2x g510 with 1x faulty GPU and 1x display with bad pixels and 1x G500 with faulty GPU.returned all and gave up Ideapad series.

Its little lower than my laptop asus n550jv, but same CPU 4700 HQ. It could be said the laptops can be classified as middle-top class due to new 4th generation CPU. For graphic card, its not much great. I'm still having regrets for buying GT 750m instead of GTX ones. But still it satisfies my needs. I recommend you getting laptops with little greater graphic cards or building a PC system for further customization because of development of gaming industry. Before I forget, SDD is the essential thing. Don't look the laptops without SSD. I have other regrets like that having 5400 RPM HDD. I'll change it to SSD as soon as possible.

Here is the compare

Well I would say build a decent pc for that money, but if you need a laptop it ain't too bad, I've found Lenovo too be reasonably reliable in the past.

I've got G500 and I must say it's so cheap and plastic. The border around the display is piece of shit. You can literally put your fingers between actual LCD panel and chassis. I can't imagine to use it for like 5 years, it will probably fall apart, nothing compares to Lenovo ThinkPads which last forever...

And also as someone mentioned already - friend of mine also runned into 2 defective ones before he got finally IdeaPad which works properly.

Good luck.

All I see is you wanting to play games... but do you really need the mobility ? If the laptop is going to sit in the same room for a long time then it's best to get a desktop instead, cheaper and more powerful than a laptop.

Don't buy AMD! All AAA games use Nvidia drivers these days, which are locked specifically to Nvidia owners, so AMD always gets worse graphical performance.

What ever you build a laptop, PC always better for you to reach FPS you want it on AAA games.

But, if you still want to buy a laptop... mostly alienware still the best (For Elite). Just check it by yourself

With your spec laptop, just change your VGA to Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M - GTX 780M SLI <Best rendering for games> (Some product laptops is changeable VGA, but some is not changeable) & add/upgrade HDD (I belive, HDD laptop can't reach 2-8TB :x)

if you want a gaming laptop, i dont think its a good choice. for now yea this laptop is great and it will run games for 3-4 years from now. but the graphic card will let you own in future. just for your information, 1Gb DDR5 is equal to 4x1Gb DDR3. Dont look at that 2Gb cause it wont make much difference for nowadays games. wish you make the right choice. sry for bad eng

I was in a similar situation as you are. I am no pro or anything, just sharing what I went through like 2 years ago... ultimately decided to buy a quality notebook and a desktop PC, because with "gaming" notebooks that have a dedicated graphics card, you have a much higher chance of malfunctions, problems and the real issue is cooling such a device when gaming. So I ended up buying a Lenovo ThinkPad T520 that has only an integrated Intel HD 3000 (with the bigger battery variant, you can easily get 6 - 8 hours out of it without needing to plug it into a power supply). The notebook is really good, encountered zero problems so far. And I even get to play some games, when not at my desktop. I had a chance to try out some G series and the materials seemed rather poor-quality, plastic everywhere, especially when compared to the T series laptops.

My friend bought a Sony VAIO at a similar price ($ 1200 at the time) and yeah, he could play games I couldn't even think about running on my laptop, but he needs to be plugged into a power supply everywhere and after some time, he started having serious problems.

Anyways, really, like REALLY, get a laptop that has an integrated graphics card as well as a dedicated one. Otherwise, you will be tied to a power supply all day. And I would rather choose an nVidia card over AMD. Also, as mentioned above, don't just look at the components - when the components seem very good for the price, the materials will be utter crap.
