Does this laptop support all kinds of heavy games? This is the question usually people will have in their mind when they go for med spec lenovo laptops.
Let us first understand configuration of this laptop.
I5 intel Processor with 6th Generation
2 Gb Graphics - Nvidia Graphics Getforce N 16V
8 GB Ram
1 TB Hard Disk
1366 ×786 screen resolution
Dolby Digital Speakers
This laptop comes with a good feature compared to other hp and dell laptop in this price range. This laptop supports almost all games. I have played heavy graphic games like GTA 5 ( setup size is almost 60 GB - you can guess the level graphics used in the game) in max high graphics and I could play the game very smoothly.
Then I tried Watchdogs 2 which is another heavy open world game which actually has setup size of almost 35 GB , I could play this game in medium graphics smoothly. But I could not play in high graphics.
Now coming to new recent high end games like Far cry 5 and assassin creed origins, I have even played these games but I could play only in lower graphics because it has only 6th generation processor.
Now there are several games that I have played in this laptop, such as Gta series, Assasin creed Series, watch dogs, tomb raider series, etc. I could play all these games smoothly
Now to conclude, yes this is a gaming laptop to some extent. To play heavy games which are recent ( games released after 2017) you may have to struggle little because it has only 2 gb graphics and old gen processor. But anyway you can play these games either in lower graphics or using some third party software stuffs like ragon game convertor or any other ( available in google )
Apart from this , laptop has good dolby digital speaker, which sounds pretty decent I would say and high definition screen with 2 gb graphics which can even play 4K vidos using VLC player aswell. Laptop comes with good processor so I dont find any problem of lag while multitasking.
2 major Cons
The two major issues I have with this laptop is battery and keyboard. Battery backup is too less. Usually while gaming max is 1 and half hour and 3 hours max for normal use. And also the keyboard is very delicate. So I have to use external keyboard and mouse for heavy usage and gaming, even the keyboard is not backlight so using it in the dark would be very difficult.
So thats it guys. I happily recommend this laptop for you guys in this price range. Thank you. any queries please let me know.
