if 40-50 fps is okay to them then yes.

Honestly, not trying to tear you down, but unless you're getting an amazing deal, that could be one of the worst laptops on the market for your needs. I recommend shopping around on Newegg to find a machine that provides a bit more oomph in a more power efficient package.

Low FPS - I can bench it for you, I have a similar machine

Apparently his friend already has it.

I'd guess his friend is one of the "I'm a massive techie here are all my BS facts I know" kind of people. That wouldn't be a laptop I quickly recommend to anyone really... How much would you be paying for it?

He's introducing his friend to PC gaming

and he has that laptop

and he's wondering how it will run on that laptop

 

he's not buying the laptop, he's asking how it will run for his friend.

You know what, I completely misread what OP was asking, I thought he was going to buy the laptop for his friend.

 

Lemme remove my head from my ass and I'll be back in a few minutes

The resolution is in your favour, but I wouldn't expect very good frame rates. You will also likely see dips in FPS, and studdering until you get the settings dialed in.

 

My only concern would be whether the performance of your friends laptop would turn him off of PC gaming.

You'll have to mess around with a cfg file, but when you do that, it can run at 80 FPS at 960x540 on low.
