http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-740M.89900.0.html (scroll down for Crysis 3 benchmarks) if you click on the individual fps ratings (there are 3 per setting) you see the laptop setup used to obtain that frame rate. And you will see that the GPU itself is only sufficient for running...

This one should be good. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314535 The i5 is sufficient for moderate gaming (CS:GO is not a very hardware intensive game) and the GPU the GT 840m can play CS:GO on ultra settings even at 1080p and is sufficient for playing Watchdogs on low...

The i5 is perfectly good for almost anything you throw at it, and the GT 740 should be able to play all but the most demanding of games at 1366 x 768 @ medium and sometimes high settings. As for CAD software, i have a brother who is in Civil engineering and his laptop is an AMD A6-3420m (much...

with the 1080p screen, if you feel things arent going as well as you had hoped you can always tone down the resolution. In terms of everyday applications and workloads, both will perform pretty much the same. In terms of movies and games, they will perform the same provided the setting are...

Honestly at that price point, theres not alot to offer, but this was the best i could find that wasn't a chromebook: http://www.amazon.co.uk/X551MA-SX030H-15-6-inch-Notebook-Celeron-Bluetooth/dp/B00I1BRCHE/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402520394&sr=1-7 Has: Intel Celeron N2815 1.86GHz...

Good for regular everyday use (ie web browsing, word processing and running non-hardware intensive programs) plus the integrated gpu is more that adequate for playing movies at 1080p when hooked up to a TV. CPU is a newer model, uses less power, and runs up to 4 threads making productivity and...

Leights Reid's laptop is a little under powered for gaming; its processor is a ULV design (ultra low voltage; meant for powersaving) and the graphics are no better the intel 4th gen Integrated graphics (not hating, just stating a fact.) The only real benefit is the 8gb of ram which is honestly...

This one's good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Z510-15-6-inch-Laptop-i5-4200M/dp/B00HR6U0KU/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402356400&sr=1-2 Has an i5, and good graphics (gt740m) My only gripe is it has only 4gb of ram, but as long as you arent multitasking too hard most games should be...

If your budget is 800 in pounds: here are a coupe i've found (only used amazon since i dont live in the UK so idk where you would get your laptops): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-15-6-inch-Processor-Graphics-Windows/dp/B00FSBFBD2/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402355640&sr=1-2...

That GPU is a pretty decent GPU for laptops, its not exactly a "super gaming one" per se but it should handle more recent games at medium to high settings. This link will show you what to expect for certain games: (scroll down to bottom)...

the first one has an A10-5750m which an i7-4700HQ will beat, hands down. However the first laptop does sport a better GPU. So, if the game is more CPU intensive you may get better fps from the 2nd and third one, but is the game is more GPU intensive the 2nd and third laptop will work better. I...

Any laptop with just an i5 using the built in HD 4600 intel graphics would work and so will a laptop using an A10 APU from AMD. Those go for about 500 to 550 USD maybe more depending on the model and product line.
