no. you need one with a dedicated graphics card instead of the integrated intel graphics that comes with the cpu. look for a minimum of graphics card 740m or amd 8670m

No, the Lenovo y510p is better. If you swap out the HDD for a SDD and install Windows 7 instead of the dreaded 8/8.1, you can pretty much run all games on Ultra with loading times unbelievably fast. Good luck!

720m is just too low end... i'm not even sure it's faster compared to the intel graphics
