Is the Lenovo z510 good for gaming?

I was looking up cheap gaming laptops and on several websites this stood out. On a list of best cheap gaming laptops it got #1. Second was the g505. Is the z510 good enough to play games such as sims 3 without constantly overheating( like my old laptop) or crashing? Would I be able to play games like wolfenstein also?

It should be able to max out more intensive games like NFS Carbon, so you should be ok

Up to 3.1GHz, the i5 Dual Core with 4 Threads will definitely play most of your games fine. However, today's game's you won't be able to max out but you should be able to play them on Medium. Powered by a NVIDIA Graphics card with 1GB of Dedicated Memory it's a great option to play most of today's games on smooth FPS with impressive resolutions. 8GB of RAM is more than enough to play games and will definitely do the job fine!
