My current laptop is four years old, and I've really realised it needs replacement now. So I broke my piggy bank (and my budget...) and ordered this - how well would this run ESO?

    Where did you see GeForce?

    Edit: saw it now. Don't get why it's not better advertised than that. But hey, it will run it but not that great anyway. Like said above, medium to low I guess ;)

    You could definitely play ESO on this but for it to run really smooth I suggest medium settings though. If you don't have a desktop PC I strongly suggest getting one instead of a laptop. For a about 150 to 200 dollars more you could of got a prebuilt i buy power revolt or something and it would run allot better.

    My guess is it will do fine if you spend some time tweaking gfx options. Pvp might be too tough in zergs...but then everyone lags in big battle pvp...

    This, but based on my experience with playing ESO on a worse laptop, I'd even say high might be an option (tweaked for best performance). I'm most worried about the HDD, to be honest; 5400rpm isn't really all that good for gaming.

    That's for PvE though. PvP is always trouble.

    Fair enough, but I don't really do that much gaming anymore to feel the cost of a desktop justified (I mostly only play ESO, Skyrim and some Civ 5 and LoTRO), and for all other stuff I do (browsing the net, webdesign, general work, watching DVDs) a laptop is sufficient, and of course has the advantage of being able to take on travel.

    Well, I haven't gotten ESO on it yet, but man, compared to my old Laptop, this thing is a beast. Put Skyrim on it, and it defaulted to Ultra High, which runs With perfectly acceptable framerates. Compared to my old Laptop, which ran Skyrim just about bearable With the lowest settings...

    Hey AngryNord, I have the Lenovo y410p which has the Geforce 755M chip and it runs ESO on ultra high, so you should have little trouble with yours.

    I installed ESO and just loaded it up for a quck look this morning, just let it use the settings it defaulted to on startup (most stuff on 'High').
    Seriously, is this the same game I've been playing for the last six months??? It looks like a completely New game...

    Lenovo is one of the better brands for Laptops, I use them myself on travel while working.

    As long you buy an intel chipset Lenovo you will be fine with most things including games.

    Enjoy your time with it ;)
