yeah I thought it'd be a good laptop, it has 8 cores and all, so it's great for working on music where each track can run an effects chain on a separate CPU. But I guess it can't run the most advanced games
yeah when you're inside a 3D environment like in these kinds of games, everything around you is being constantly rendered so it relies more on the GPU than the CPU. yours might choke when faced with that kind of constant rendering. then your RAM better be min. 16gb
