I'll give this the green light since I know laptops are insanely expensive and you're deadset on a laptop. The RAM and memory are both low but if you're willing to work around that you'll be fine. Will run most games at some level of quality. I boycott laptops in general, though. If you're not strapped on time I recommend buying at the end of the year, closer to the release of next-gen graphics cards. They'll have a ton of these things that they need to sell like hotcakes but for some reason -- which they will swear isn't greed, totally -- will barely lower the prices compared to how badly they want to get rid of them because they will be told by their managers that it's better to destroy merchandise this year so they can sell more next year than give steep discounts this year and sell less next year. Don't feed the big evil greedy capitalist machine. Best wishes.
I'm wanting to go laptop because I don't really have any desktop space. Plus my comfy chair is a lot better than a computer chair on my back.
