I need help choosing a laptop as I don't understand specs.

Hi everyone I'm looking for a bit of advice today. I'm looking at buying a new laptop as mine recently after 4 years gave up.

I would like to use the new laptop for typing up my college work and I'd also like to play some games on it.

Such as primarily

Minecraft
World of Warcraft

But I would also like to know if the following laptop would allow me to play the following.

Battlefield
Call of duty
Arma 2/3

The laptop on question is..

Toshiba satellite L50t-B-11G

I would like to know if this laptop would run the games above and what kind of performance id get on highest settings.

I'm also open to suggestions.

I'm in the UK and have a budget of £500~600 I can only have a laptop due to certain limitations.

Thanks.

Yeah I don't really understand what I'm doing with that kind of thing. I'm not so much bothered about the fps games as I usually play rpg/mmorpg games on my laptop.

You want a dedicated GPU. GO with dasulman's suggestion of laptop; just upgrade the CPU to something less crappy.

preferably an I5, 8GB RAM etc. if you want a full recommendation just say so
