For Gaming its Perfect
with this Config you can run any game available in the market.

good specs. you wont be able to play EVERY game in the market. but most of them.

only thing that catches my eye is the CPU... 3mb of cache isnt the greatest. but is awesome if your only doing school work.

No, it's terrible for gaming. Don't listen to immu in that regard. It is pretty good for school, but the one bad thing about the 15z has been its exterior material (it tends to come off from the sides of the keyboard).

btw, I'd pay the extra $100 to get the 1080p (1920x1080) screen if I were you.

The GPU is quite weak, 525M can play most on medium, high games on low.
Go for the one with a GT555m.

I'm guessing this is the ASUS?
It should do great.
