It's just the graphics card it comes with If I do get this laptop, I was planning to change it in the next year or so... So do you think I will be able to run it, and if so on what settings?

EDIT :
Ok I just looked up if I can change a graphics card in a laptop and the answer is only some of them, but the thing is I will only be using it to play arma 3 and minecraft, watching movies off it... Sorry to the PC gamers but I like consoles.

You have a laptop. The specs in a Desktop will be WAY better than a laptop. So Im not really good with laptops, I would suggest a Desktop for GREAT gaming/performance.

I would also recomend you to build it yourself. Im guessing that this laptop cost you around $1000 or a equivalent to that in what currency you have.
A $1000 desktop pc will outperform ANY laptop thats $1400 and down.

Yep, you should have no difficulties of playing Arma III with medium settings. Just lower the shadow quality and tone down AA for a boost on fps. Arma tends to run a bit more sluggish on hard drives, so purchasing an SSD in the future could assist as well.
