is this a good gaming laptop? ($1200 - Acer Aspire V3-771G)

[Svensander]

hey guys,
you've probably seen alot of my threads on this forum already (lol) asking for advice about my pc builds ETC. but now i decided that since i'll be moving around alot, a desktop will be pretty much useless for me.... so i decided to go for a gaming laptop ( ) instead. and it's on a 30% discount now !!!!!!!!
the specs are:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3230M @ 2,6 GHz, max turbo frequency 3,2 GHz
Screen: Full HD
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
HDD: 750 GB
GPU: nVidia GeForce GT 730M video card with dedicated 4GB VRAM

i'll mostly be playing skyrim and assassins creed 3... could this laptop play them smoothly on at least medium settings? 🙁

thanks.....

P.S.
please don't make me mad by saying "laptops suck" and "you should get a desktop instead", because i can't travel around with a desktop. i can't stress this enough.

At $1200, Id be looking for a 770M or 750M at worst

the store where i saw the laptop i talked about in my thread is the only store where it's possible to buy laptops with staged payments, since i don't have the money to buy pay the $1200 in one payment. also, the PC you mentioned doesn't exist in any store around where i live, and i live in estonia btw.

I agree with Jack, on $1200 you're way overpaying for a GT 730. You want at least a GT 750M or a GT 770M.

Here's a couple of laptops that are way better for the same price (or less):
