Hi, I'm looking into purchasing a laptop for University which is also capable of gaming and video editing. I stumbled across this laptop and I was told it had very good specs but what do you guys think? Would this laptop be capable of running modern games on high settings?

CPU: 2.5GHz AMD A10-5750 Quad Core Processor
GPU: 8750M 2GB Graphics
RAM: 16gb
15.6" display and 1TB hard drive

Thanks in advance,
Chris

No problem. I would've recommended the Y50 but it was out of budget :p

I'd recommend one of these instead. I don't know your budget, but if you really want fast then you could choose the one with a boot ssd. If not, the base option is still fantastic. I recommend this over the the A-10 AND THE 8750m.

You'll get pretty good performance on it. You should play most games on high and even ultra.

Some older games (not that old) maybe BF3 on ultra. But medium to high is still good expectations for a laptop of this price.

Sounds great, I browsed the site and found the y50 as well which seems to be more capable but obviously more expensive, anyway thanks for the recommendation!
