I've been taking a real hard look at it's gaming capabilities. Technically it's sound specifications wise that indicates it shouldn't have major problems with gaming with the exception of the Intel Iris Pro GPU which in many demos has show to be a pretty capable graphics processor. Yet there are details of the GPU that simply don't make sense for example how can it score so low on general firestrike benchmarks yet run League of Legends and Assassin's creed at 90FPS. It's even been tested playing WoW at 120 FPS in some instances yet a game that wouldn't at first guess be so demanding like Diablo 3 runs at a unexplainable low 20FPS, what makes that specific game so different? My guess is Particle or general physics which the GPU doesn't handle well however Starcraft 2 seems to run just fine which in my option should be the same as Diablo 3. Also most games are designed to default to CPU processing if bullet or PhysX options are not available. Maybe someone else can unravel this mystery.
