And is a 2gb card enough to play games?
A 2GB dedicated graphics card for laptop will not be enough to play current demanding games (e,g, Battlefield, Titanfall...). I recommend a 3GB minimum. But this will be beyond your budget. However the 2GB graphics card can play at medium or low.
Hope this information has help.
You literally could not know less.
The amount of memory listed on a card is OUTPUT BANDWIDTH.
output bandwidth is all about powering the screen display - it has nothing to do with actual graphical processing.
Imagine it like a big bus that ships all the processed pixels to the screen, the bigger the bus (bandwidth) the higher screen resolution it can refresh at a stable FPS.
2GB of VRAM is enough to power one 1920x1080p screen. Any more than that, then the bandwidth can't move the pixels fast enough for higher FPS and therefore becomes a bottleneck.
This bottleneck only occurs (for 2GB) at resolutions of 3k or more (3200x1800 like the new razer blade 14)
RANT OVER.
Now OP, set in canada, you'll want this:
http/www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(1,252,0)ec
this packs an I7 4710HQ quad core processor, a gtx 860M graphics card (the most powerful you're going to get at this price range, believe me) alongside 8GB of RAM, a 1080p screen and a 500GB HDD.
