Hi everyone, I know I have had quite a few problems with buulding my computers and getting everything set, I am wondering if this computer would be any good for playing Playerunknown's battlegrounds and using Microsoft PowerPoint and word. I think it's quite cheap for what I get, I'm just wondering if I can run the game decently, because the steam page says that I need at least an intel i3 and 6gb whereas this is intel i5 and 8gb. Do you think that my game will be trash if I play with this? Is it gta V capable at lower settings?

Im not familiar with Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, but I must say this laptop is a steal! Only $444 for an i5 with 8gb of RAM? The Integrated Intel graphics should be able to handle very light games at 60fps+ and light games around a little less, but even GTA on the lowest settings may only be pushing 30fps. It can definitely do all Microsoft Office programs, without a doubt.

P.S. if the minimum specs for the aforementioned game are i3 and 6gb, you should be able to get 30fps+ with an i5 and 8gb, but all games are different.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is basically a survival game where you are in Russia and you parachute out of a plane with your friends, the objective is to kill all of the other players, by looting guns inside the houses. It's really fun and has great physics

Ok, well the laptop you're looking at can probably run it decently. If I were to recommend a few more laptops, one would be this ASUS for $499 with more features and a slightly faster and newer Intel Core i5, or this Dell Insprion for $429 simply because it has that same, newer, faster Core i5, 8gb of RAM, and a 1tb HDD for even cheaper, and the fact that its a Dell. Dell produces the highest quality laptops and havr the best support, in my opinion.
--UPDATE--
It looks like I may have found an even better laptop! This one is made by ACER and costs quite a bit more than the previously mentioned laptops at $579, but it is built for gaming and has an actual gaming graphics card in it - A NVIDIA GeForce GTX 940M. I'd say for what you get (an i5-7200U, 8gb RAM, 256gb SSD, and NVIDIA GF940M), that price is a steal. Click here to see it

Well I am also building a gaming pc, so I am just buying the laptop to play a few games with friends since I am moving and all my electronics are in a container in the middle of the ocean. So is this laptop a must have or is your Dell one much better?

If I were you, I'd go for the Dell. It has a newer and faster Intel Core i5 with the same amount of RAM, same HDD, OS, and better integrated graphics for almost $20 less. It has the same ports as the Lenovo, same screen size, and we've used Dell laptops for almost 17 years now and we've never been disappointed.
