Is this Gaming Laptop able to play these games?

[LtDan459]

I am no expert or full on PC gamer. I usually play on console. But wanted to get back in to the PC gaming world. I wanted to know if the Alienware M17X R3 with Windows 64 bit is able to play some of the classics like CS Sorce, CSGO, Left for Dead 1 and 2, BF2, BF1942 and if possible some of the new FPS games out there like Raising Storm Veitnam or any other WWII shooter. Also want to know for the price 590 bucks would I be getting a good deal, paying normal price, or being ripped off? Planning to buy this online has good feedback 100% positive and sells refurbish PC and Laptops

Skip that laptop entirely. Buy a better one.

[Red™]

You can easily get a much support system for 600 dollars. I can even get a better one for 500. The laptop being sold for 590 is a terrible deal.
Try looking up on the Acer nitro series.

Red witch of the Acer Nitro Series would you prefer?

Well it depends on your budget.

2nd gen mobile with a quadro 1000m

get a newer laptop for games

[Red™]

I doubt you can even keep a stable 40 FPS with that laptop lol

[_I_]

quadro 1000m is similar to a gt710 and weaker than the newer intel hd
1-10fps in newer games
