will this laptop be able to play and handle ps4 games well?

Lenovo y580

Notebook Intel Core i7 3610QM(2.30GHz)

15.6"

8GB Memory DDR3 1600 1TB HDD 5400rpm

Blu-ray RAMBO (Re-writeable)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M

Won't even run Snes games tbqh.

WTF?

Do you mean games similar to PS4? It won't do that either.

you mean play next gen games? yes but at very low settings.

Yeah certainly, at reasonable settings. I imagine you'd be able to run something like Watch Dogs on medium settings but as devs use up more of the console's power and optimize for PC's graphics cards less and less, you will be running into a bit of trouble. Don't go for a gaming laptop unless you're always on the move. It's not necessary and you have to pay a lot more for a lot less. Get yourself a nice, upgradeable desktop for that laptop's price and upgrade when you have the money. And if you like portable games, grab a 3DS or a Vita.

thanks. yeah i should have been more specific. i mean will it play next gen games. i thought the specs would out do the playstation 4 by a mile guess i was wrong.

Thats the main/only reason why your going to struggle on this laptop. An i7 with 8gb ram and a 660 on a desktop would play ps4 game amazing (probably better) but that isn't the case on laptops

You can only play ps4 games on a ps4

I kind of doubt even a 660 on a desktop would play ps4 games great. The PS4 may not have the raw power but the games look 680/770/7970 Ghz level imo.

Theres no doubt in my mind that a slighly faster GPU with a much much faster processor will offer at least ps4 quality (which isn't saying a ton since this is going to be the least dramatic jump/generation in terms of graphics)

If the native res of the laptop screen is below 1080p? Sure. Why not? At 1080p? Forget it unless you sacrifice a lot of detail and graphics settings.

Hmm well I guess my 7970 should last a long time then.

Basically this.. Hence why I prefer to have a 1366x 768 or 1600x900 display rather than full 1080p for gaming.. Your slaved to a very high resolution and the hardware you going to notice it age alot faster.. Outside of that I recently got the G46vw (i5, 14" screen, 8 gb ram, and 660m) and it is playing everything on max to high that I throw at it.. It's a great counterpart to my desktop.

I take it you're like me. So long as the games look and run good (even at a lower res) it's fine. It's all about the games rather than the hardware.

Heck. That's why I have a 24" 1080p TV and a 19" 1440x900 monitor hooked up to my PC. If a game is subpar at 1080p, I just run it at 1440x900. That's why I'm in no hurry to replace my GTX 560 Ti.
