I Really enjoy the yoga design being able to switch to tablet and touch screen side to the lenovo franchise....

Granted yes, I know it is not a "gaming" laptop and is more for business or schooling or just your "average" task handler but it does sport a mobile intel 4400. To some that is garbage i'm sure compared to amd, geforce, and any of those other power houses, but what about average games or even games set on lowest screen res, quality settings?

Personally I prefer always having max frames per second compared to those who want a gaming rig for not only the frames, but the frames AND the full quality the game offers graphic wise.

So I want to set a few examples to give people an idea of what I am looking for from this laptop to see if anyone thinks what I am after is feasible.

Right now I have an Inspiron 5735 with a radeon HD 8510G mobile counterpart to the desktop version graphic card.

I currently play WarFace on 800x600 and it CAN play 1600x900 res fluently with stuttering at the beginning of a match and about 5-10sec in it stops and is fluent the rest of the time... I don't mind playing low res... in fact it helps my vision sometimes as things are enlarged (at least to my eyes)

I also play blacklight retribution on lowest res and graphics and it runs 32+fps JUST enough to run smooth.

So all I want to know... is the 4400 enough to play games like these at the same resolutions and same lowest graphic settings? Besides using it for school it would not be the laptop for me if it couldn't handle these games.

Or would it be better to stick with what I have and just get the yoga for schooling and portability
