Can this laptop run PR?

That one is more than enough for PR because that i5 is pretty good and seeing how the display resolution is HD, that GPU would handle PR, if it was higher res, probably not.

Finaly bought this laptop, wanted to share my experience.

ASUS X550 15.6" HD LED
Intel Core i5-4210U up to 2.7Ghz
8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz
750Gb HDD
GeForce GT840 2Gb

and it runs PR well , medium to high around 60fps , only fps drops at falujah afcourse... really i didnt excpected such a good performance with this rig. Also tested bf3,medium - 45 fps .
I am satisfied about my purchase, the most important it handles PR ! Thats enough for me

That's more than enough mate.

Uhm... this was a reply on the last comment of the previous page and somehow I said the exact same thing as Patrick... weird.

Make sure for PR that when you play it, it uses the dedicated GPU instead of the integrated graphics from your CPU.

To do so, right click on desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings on the sidebar > Program Settings > Find prbf2.exe and prlauncher.exe and make sure the Nvidia High Performance Processor is selected.

I'm surprised that runs so well, PR will only be using two cores which are running at 2.7, the GPU is low end, although far better then integrated and of course a new design.
I wonder if the 2GB Vram helps PR much.
