Help me out

I have found a lenovo laptop for about 650 dollars, and i would like to know if it could do what i want to do with it. I have a laptop right now that is not very good, I just want a laptop that can have multitask, play kind of simple games and not be slow. The laptop i have now cant load 2 things at one time without pooping itself. It can barely run kind of small games. It can run minecraft at lowest setting and get 25 fps, it can run League of legends at lowest setting and get 15-35 fps, it can barely run world of warcraft. I just want this laptop to run all those games and a few more at a good stable fps. I was just wondering if the lenovo could do all that im wishing for and if its a good deal or if there is a better one somewhere else. I would also like to know if I could change the windows 8 to windows 7 because i heard windows 8 is pretty bad.

That Lenovo will do fine for some casual gaming. The i5-3230m is a pretty decent CPU and the Nvidia gt635 is considered a mainstream card. Mind range basically.

Also, Windows 8 is great. Yes, the new GUI is rubbish, and that's what people get hung up on, but you can disable that in a minute flat. Aside from that, I've used 8 on two different computers and no complaints whatsoever.

On whether its worth it or not. I cant say. Here in sweden, it would be a steal. But it might not be a great price in the US. I honestly don't know. I would say go for it. Its a solid machine with decent specs.

 

Could I make windows 8 look like windows 7? and i found a slightly better computer for a few more dollars and its good to hear it can do what i want. Ive heard windows 8 is awful, but i personally have no idea. So could i put in windows 7 on this comp if i dont like the windows 8 or is windows 8 not that bad just takes getting used to?

 

there is a program called ClassicShell that disables the horrible gui. Aside from that, there are no issues with windows 8. Its even faster than 7. But you can also install 7 if you want, the drivers all exist. So try Windows 8 with ClassicShell, if you still hate it, install windows 7 instead. The computer will work fine with both operating systems.

 

thank you for the information, i really appreciate it

 

You're welcome. You'll like windows 8 once you install ClassicShell. I hated Windows 8 from the first preview until about a week after launch when someone recommended ClassicShell. Since my last post, I have bought yet another license (own 3 now) and i have no regrets.

Gaming desktop: i5-2500k, 16gb, 660ti, SSD.
Lenovo G580: i3-3110m, 16gb, HD4000, Intel 330-180.
Lenovo Thinkpad R61: T8100 @ 2.3ghz, 4gb, x3100, SSD

Work ssplendidly on all three. Low, mid, high specs.

EDIT: old sig lol

 

Since when? I wouldn't take anything lower 640M. For super-sure.
It is stupid to buy Fermi card when Kepler came 1 year ago.
Either wait till June-July for much better prices due to hasswell and 7xx gpus or select smth else. Fill the form of what laptop to buy.

 

It's still considered a midrange card, it's not on the low end, but it's far from a high end card in the notebook GPU standings. It's slightly below a 7690XT which alot of people seem to like when paired with a A10, I still wouldn't want one myself, but I'm not going to steer others away from them. Also, you have to consider that he apparently just needs it to play WoW decently, you don't need a high end GPU if that's what you're aiming for.

Save yourself $100 and go for something like this if you don't mind the screen being a couple inches smaller.
