Hi, I'm going to be moving away for a couple of months and have been thinking about getting a laptop that can play games for a while. I don't need anything super powerful as I have a desktop at home that can handle the latest games just fine.
I plan on playing my backlog of games while away (Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition) so I don't see the value of spending too much. Really I'm looking for something that can handle games from a couple of years ago without overheating and killing a laptop.
Is this spec good enough or is it overkill? My budget is around €1300.
