Is this a good gaming laptop?

Question

I'm thinking of getting a new laptop soon, by that I mean in the next year or so. I was wondering if this was good specs for a gaming laptop. Its a M14x by Alienware (Dell) and I customized it myself. I made it a reasonable price and if there are some necessary changes i guess i could spend more. With this laptop I want to play games like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on high and smooth settings. Here are the specs:

Yes! This is a mid rang gaming laptop you can play most games at medium/high settings with about 25-30 fps. Good luck :D

Answer 4

Pretty good if you aren't playing games with max settings on



*EDIT*



If you do want to play games with max settings you should probably get a better Graphics card
