Is the Lenovo G70 a decent gaming laptop?

Ok, so, my problem is that I know absolutely nothing when it comes to laptops and tower computers. I want to buy a laptop, whoch will be my first, and for it to be used for playong games such as football manager and company of heroes. However i will also use it to browse the internet and log into social media. One i have had my eye on is the Lenovo G70. I have asked my mates if the specs look good and they have said it is great. It has 1TB of storage and comes with 4GB of Ram and can hold up to 16 GB of ram. It is fairly chewp which makes me wonder if because it is cheap does that make it bad? At the end of the day i justwant to know will it be able to run the games i want at a medium level.

How to mark laptop battery as charged?

I used to use Dell laptops. With Dell batteries, I could press a button on the battery to find out if it was charged.

Recently I switched to Lenovo. I like the laptop, but to check the charge status of the battery I have to mount the battery and go through a few steps to see the status.

With several batteries in rotation, that can get annoying. Is there a simple system for keeping track of whether a battery has been charged? I'm thinking of the kind of thing I have on my dishwasher to indicate clean or not clean, but smaller of course.

Any suggestions?

Added (1). I have idea. I'll keep a stash of rubber bands in the laptop case, and put one around each battery as it is charged, taking it off as it is used.

Upgraded to Windows 10 and now I don't have wireless internet?

I recently "upgraded" to Windows 10 as per advisement because I was unable to download two different documents that I needed for an online class. Now that I have it, I'm unable to even pick up a wireless internet connection and don't even have the option to. Mind you that I had internet before I switched to Windows 10. So how do I fix this? I have a lenovo thinkpad, fairly older laptop, could this be a problem?

Does my laptop have a single gpu or two?

Does my laptop have a single gpu or two?

Added (1). I recently bought a y510p from a private seller and am unsure whether this model has one or two gt 750's. I'm having trouble finding a second gpu on the device manager, nvidia control panel or GeForce panel, but i know this is a common problem for this laptop. I've tried installing previous drivers and updating my bios(to no avail) and can't get a second card showing, so i'm assuming it only has one card.
I'm running windows 8.1.

So how can i be sure this laptop has only one or two gpu's?

Added (2). MOBO has an intel 4600 series graphics card AND a Nvidia GeForce GT 750m, I know lenovo sells a model with only one gpu, but they also sell models with dual gt 750m's. It is a common problem for these laptops to not detect the second gpu with win 8.1

Why do most laptops have 1366x768 screen rez?

All my laptops which i have purchased after 2011 have the default screen rez
1366x768
where as the ones i owned previously
"HP Elitebook 8530W" had 1920x1080
and the one before that had
1680x1050

Thats higher than most laptops today
and todays laptops have more power than old ATi cards with core 2 duo
so WHY 1366x768
