Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Lenovo's reply is both fair and accurate. To find out whether a specific computer build enables playing a specific game, always go to the manufacturer's website and search for the game, where you will find a full list of system requirements, both minimum (game can be played under the correct circumstances) and recommended (game can be played with full flexibility and enjoyment).
