    Yes, certainly. That 4GB GTX 860M graphics card should have no problems with the game. :)

    Hello,

    Whilst the specs look great on paper, I've seen some reviews saying that the screen on the laptop is a bit rubbish (dull colours, etc.). It should be able to play the game at Ultra, if you're okay with the not as good screen.

    I hope this helps and keep simming,

    To check the screen issue.. it's a good idea to have a look at a few in store to compare the quality of the screen.

    +1 on checking out computer screens in person. Anywhere there are multiple screens set up, I don't think I've ever seen two that actually match. :p

    If it's your only computer, and/or the only computer that you will use, then you will probably get used to however the screen looks and it won't be a big problem. (Unless you're working in some kind of media design or photography where color is very important.) Still, though, it's nice to see options so you can see which screen you like the most - although laptops in general are not known for having particular great screens.

    good gaming laptops can have very good screens.. although usually its something you have to pay for in the way of an upgrade.
    Mine has the 95% Colour Gamut LED full HD screen and its great lol.. but it was a $99 upgrade.
