Confused buy a laptop

[Omar Hesham]

hey guys i've been looking into a new laptop and i found Asus TP500LN
it's specs are
CPU: i3 4030 at 1.9 GHZ
RAM: 4GB
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 840M 2GB
my question is will it be able to run latest game titles with the lowest quality? but at like 40-50 FPS? this is laptop is a convertible is it reliable? will it over heat with long gaming/usage sessions?
Thanks in advance ^_^

Idk if it will overheat, but at low settings 720P sure you can get that kind of FPS.

No, I won't suggest a laptop at all if you want gaming.
A laptop is always slower than the desktop with the same config.
Laptops also cost more than desktops.

Latest games? You mean Assassin's Creed Rogue, Need for Speed Rivals and Battlefield 4?
No way. These games won't give you over 30 FPS on an average graphics view.
You must use 1280 x 720 with Medium Quality which doesn't look completely bad. 50 FPS is kinda impossible on that.

I can say that the laptop is reliable but won't work up with the latest games.


My suggestion is, forget a laptop, go with a custom built desktop

And yeah, don't completely go with my answer. I'm not the best. Wait for other answers too and pick the one you find the best.

isnt the CPU weak to run games like BF4 or GTA V even in lowest settings?

He said lowest quality. Which means ultra low settings.

BF4 might be fine, however forget GTA V. That game is a resource hog.

I searched the combination on youtube and i found it can run GTA V at 60 FPS with low settings here is a video

I can't view YT right now, but what GPU is he running?

 

[Omar Hesham]

Nvidia Geforce GT 840M 2GB + I3 4030u @ 1.9 GHZ with 4GB RAM same specs as the Tp500LN

Well, that's not what I expected. I've never played GTA V on PC...

If you want a machine which can just run the basic game story without any quality, you can go with that laptop.

That laptop is from ASUS, I use a lot of ASUS Products. It is reliable. Go with it but still, better if you go with a desktop.
