Is this a good Laptop for $549?

Hi this is on sale at my local shop for $549 I was wondering if it was a good deal and if it can run modern games, thanks!

I would say a decent deal, but not what you would want for gaming.

Something with a discrete video card rather then an APU would be much better.

This is really a gamer's laptop with dual video cards, but is off the shelf. You can get similar from Dell/Alienware, MSI, ASUS and customize. (Though not so much with ASUS)
