Hi!

I'm trying to find a cheap laptop that I can use for some gaming, and was wondering if this would be suitable.
It has 8GB RAM, a 1TB hard drive, an AMD A8-6410 processor, an AMD R5 graphics card, and a resolution of 1366 x 768. It runs Windows 8.1 :)

Thanks!

It's okay. The A8-6410 is basically a little less powerful than a Core i3 CPU. The Radeon R5 (Beema) graphics core is less powerful than an Intel HD 4000 graphics core which is in the Intel 3rd generation Ivy Bridge CPUs released back in 2012.

The following Lenovo B50-70 will provide better performance since it has a 4th gen Core i3-4005u and Intel HD 4400 graphics core. Gaming will still be kinda "meh", but you cannot expect much in the price range. It only has 4GB of RAM, but RAM is easy to upgrade.

Well The Ram is perfect , processor is not bad and the graphics card is not bad either . This laptop would be able to run games but not on the best quality of course .. but if you have no problems running on medium graphics i think this laptop fits :)
