Eh, it's hard to say for sure. But generally the video components are the biggest slow downs for laptops. But, because laptops are set up so that they save power at every opportunity, you might need to go into some of the settings and make sure things are not throttling back for power saving issues. This also means you won't be playing while on batteries.

What does your Windows Experience Index number say?

Most laptops are geared for running business apps and not really for games.

By comparison, my Desktop at home is set up for games. The power usage for just the computer is about 800 watts, and I feel the heat every time I play a graphic intensive game too. A laptop would have to crunch the same number of bits to have the same performance. So, how much power can your power supply that came with your laptop push out? On this laptop power brick, it says, 65 Watts max. So, how in the world can anyone expect a laptop to crunch as many numbers as a desktop that is using 800 watts. You don't get any number crunching for free here. You wanna crunch the numbers, you gonna use some watts to do it.
