So this CyberMonday i kinda splurged and got the IdeaPad y400 by Lenovo. Mostly for schoolwork, but i did want to start getting into some minor gaming and was wondering what kind of games this thing could run. Does it have to stick to games like Minecraft, can it go as far as some of the newer games like Assassins Creed III, or somewhere in the middle like some couple year old shooters like Battlefield and MW2?
Here's a link

It was once said that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could reproduce the works of shakespeare... Now thanks to the internet we know that this is not true

That's what my friend said but he wasn't really sure about the extent of the gaming it could go to.

For $800? That is a nice laptop. Good find and you should enjoy using it OP.
