About the CPU, Ram and HDD, seems enough to run GTA.
About the Graphics card, 512mb ram... It does run gta sa well.

How about... Humm WOW. Will it run it?

It's good enough for casual games, but don't expect to run anything high-end on it. WoW is what .. 10 years old?
I'm not a fan of AMD (neither their CPUs, nor their graphics card) and I've never heard of the brand either, but it might be something that's only sold in the Americas.

Ok thanks

... seriously, youve never heard of gateway?

Here's a good resource for you to use to see what games you could probably run: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

It's not entirely accurate as it compares your specs to the recommended ones, but it will give you somewhat of an indication of how your PC will perform.

Why not try canirunit?

Dont use lab or canirunit. They're useless, they just want to install advertisement stuff on your machine and get money.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. I've been using canyourunit/systemrequirementslab for years and never had an issue. It's not 100% accurate all of the time (e.g. on my laptop it only detects my integrated graphics not my graphics card, so it fails some tests when really I know it has passed) but it definitely does not cost you any money and I have never had an issue with advertisements through it and I don't use an ad-blocker.

Please get your facts straight before mouthing off about things you clearly don't have a clue about.

That and it tries to get you to buy their garbage software to update your BIOS or your PC performance will be "bad".

Re: Ok so I bought laptop last night... - Scenario - 21.04.2013

Vince's statement would be correct. You could play games like GTA:SA and similar games with similar graphics, but don't expect to be playing BF3.

I am also not an AMD fan, so... there's a bit of an issue there! Same with Gateway, it's a crappy and cheap brand if you ask me!

Re: Ok so I bought laptop last night... - FunnyBear - 21.04.2013

I've had AMD, it is really slow. I suggest intel.

Gateway is owned by Acer, Which is well, the worst computer company next to eMachines, which I also believe is owned by Acer.

"Select your region"; and choices between the Americas and Asia Pacific. No Europe. It's just not sold here so don't be surprised.

It's funny reading the posts of those who think they know about computers.

Run GTA on high settings.

I suggest intel, but in January last year I got an AMD dual core notebook for christmas, and to be honest for general use like browsing it was absolutely fine, very fast. Even on SA though the GPU got VERY hot.
