So I want to get a gaming laptop and I've been doing some research on some laptops. The one I am looking at right now is the Lenovo Thinkpad e540. It's specs are:
Intel core i5 4200m 2.5ghz(up to3.1) processor
Nvidia geforce gt740m graphics card with 2gb VRAM
8gb ram
500gb hard drive
Windows 8

I want to know if it can play these games: bf4, bf3, chivalry medieval warfare, skyrim, Garry's mod, saints row IV, arma 2 and dayZ.
On game debate for most games I have recommended system requirements and gAmes like bf4/3 and skyrim I have minimum but I am not sure if I can play these games in a playable fps. Please help me.
This computer will cost $949. If this will not run these games can you recommend another laptop under $1000 but not Lenovo because this Thinkpad is the only Lenovo laptop I can get in Australia and please don't recommend desktops or building a PC.
Thanks

For that price you could build yourself a really great gaming PC. If you are really wanting a gaming laptop you will need to look at one about $2000. The 740m is a good mobil GPU so you may be able to play those games but I can't say on what settings.

Thanks for your answer. I may look into building a PC but right now I would rather a laptop because I can take it anywhere I want. A desktop would have to stay in one spot an couldn't take it to a mates house or whatever.
