Gaming laptop for college.

The one i have in mind and fits my budget is Sony VAIO Fit 15E F15213SN/W
But it has a Core i3 3227U processor coupled with a gt 740m gpu!
Now to my question,will this processor be good enough for the present and future games like gta 5(if it ever gets a pc port),or will this proccy in any way bottleneck the gt 740m?
Please give your valuable opinions
Thanks,

i3 is not good for games, especially GTA V. You want i5 or i7.

keep in mind that mobile CPU works at lower voltage to avoid excess heat. So the performance is lower that desktop counterpart.

It is wonderful for playing pacman in HD. In all seriousness though, this PC is gonna fry itself if it tries to play modern games. GTA is known for needing more muscle than most games to play with the same quality and if you play games like BF3 which are CPU demanding this isnt gonna do very well. Look for at least an i5 with 660m graphics or higher. May cost a little more but will be worth it in the long run.

i would get the gt 660m if i had the money for it!

I suggest you build yourself a low end desktop for your gaming. You will be MUCH happier in the end. Use your portable for those things that REQUIRE portability, not games.

I already have a desktop in my home pretty decent one with core i5 3570k and hd 7770

Why in the world do you want to punish yourself trying to play games on a laptop? Enjoy your gaming on your desktop and use your portable for what it does best.
