No It did not advertised as a gaming laptop in the shop and I did not asked the sell's man if it was a gaming laptop.

I dont know the model number, how do I find the model number?

I found more info on the GPU.
http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/amd-radeon-6000m/amd-radeon-6400m/Pages/amd-radeon-6400m.aspx#1

It's says it can

"View the latest movies, sports events and online HD videos in eye-popping 3D.3
Enhance performance with GDDR5 ultra-fast memory and improve loading of complex graphics and videos. Make everyday computing a breeze with AMD App Acceleration.
Don't choose between brilliant graphics and great battery life. Get both, with AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics technology.4"

I found out it was not Top Of The Line GPU when it first came out, but a mid range GPU, by this link http://computerinvoices.com/amd-radeon-hd-6490m-performance-review.htm

It's says the games it can play when it first came out was.

Most of current games should be playable at low and medium detail settings. Starcraft 2 or Mafia 2 reached average of 30 fps in the 1024 x 768 resolution with a medium graphic detail. For older and less demanding games like Left 4 Dead or Half Life 2, the 6490M ran it out with highest details and resolution settings.

Wow forums has got a thread from 2 years ago and it's about "How high can I set my graphics with the AMD Radeon HD 6400M" One poster replyed "Depends on your resolution, but your laptop most likely comes with 1366x768 resolution. In that case, medium-high"

Here is the link to that thread http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3424795463

That poster was right because when I got this laptop under 2 years ago, I could play WOW on medium-high graphics setting, but now I only can play WOW on fair graphics setting.

It seem every WOW patch they give out every few months, it make WOW more demanding on the GPU.

In another year time I dont think AMD Radeon HD 6400M can handle WOW graphics on the lowest setting's.

Next year I might buy another Laptop or a Mini PC.


Anyway thanks keynes
