can you tell me what to remember when finding decent laptop specifications?
i mean the minimum specs

It's not really that cut-and-dry. Generally speaking, you want a modern CPU and if you need more gaming than the 620, a discrete GPU rather than the built-in graphics. PCs are a very mature market, so what you get will typically be proportional to what you pay.

What games are you looking to play? This laptop is designed for basic office-type functionality. It's not really a gaming GPU, coming with only the integrated graphics (Intel HD 620, not the 6200 that site lists, which is the integrated GPU on some desktop Broadwells). You'll be hard-pressed to get a gaming-oriented laptop anywhere near this price.

LoL should run OK at 1366x768 with that laptop. Will struggle to get near 60 fps though.
