SC2 and Dota 2 Laptop

[efarkouh]

Hello,
I'm looking to spend about $850 (so roughly $1,000 after taxes and shipping) on a laptop that can run Dota 2 and SC2 at the highest settings. I'm currently looking at the i7 Lenovo Y40 http/shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y40/?sb=:000001CA:00005717:. It has an an R9 M275 graphics card and I haven't been able to find a lot of information about the card.

Dota 2 and SC2, by today's standards, don't have horribly high requirements and so I'm hoping that this laptop will be able to do it. Bear in mind that I'm in Canada and my options are limited.

In short: A laptop that can play SC2 and Dota 2 on their highest settings for about $850 (even up to $1000 is okay) in Canada, preferably a 14 incher.

Thanks

Those games are playable with 7 years old GPUs such as the gt 8600 which is marked as requirement at dota's 2 website. Any modern GPU should handle it just fine at high settings. The Y40 should play it well.

i dont know if you can get these products in Canada but if you can ,you should really consider msi ,y40 is nice one but still its not a gaming laptop ,i mean the design ,the fan (cooling),the keyboard ,all these things matter .i would recommend you to get msi Gx60,and also this one got better gpu
