Hello,

i have the Yoga pro 2 and play games like Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. The games run smoothly but not at high resolution. The laptop doesn't have a video card, so it's very difficult to play the latest games at high. I recommend if you want to play game, search for a laptop that has a graphics card like the NVIDIA GTX.

No, definitely not. It relies on built-in Intel graphics, which is fast but not up to modern games. It also isn't designed for the heavy heat output gaming produces. Look into full size gaming laptops with Nvidia or Radeon GPU's, and big fans.

With the touch screen and full pc compatibility, it should be good for games. it is fast, great graphics and portable.

Not really. While the cpu does great, the graphics performance for programs where that is important is not up to par. That means I can play Civilization 5, where the video occasionally turns fuzzy, but not graphics intensive programs. I probably could solve the fuzzing problem by dumbing down the video to 720p. Get a laptop made for games with a discrete graphics card like an Alienware laptop. Don't get a laptop, like this one, where the cpu does the graphics.

I'm not quite a game player. But I don't believe this laptop is built for it.

You will HAVE to turn down the res, the integrated graphics will not handle even games like League of Legends on max res, although 1080p still actually looks quite good. I was able to get 90-110 FPS on that game with medium settings on 1080p so take this as a mark. Don't expect to be playing games like BF4 on high, it may be barely playable at the lowest settings.
