Is my new laptop good enough for moderate to high level gaming?

Yeah it should be good enough, otherwise Dell are misleading. But, do you recommend this? I'm not sure if i want one or not. What's the battery life like on it? Do the fans get loud while gaming? Does it feel bulky?

Unfortunatetly yes, the fan can get quite loud. 

The battery lasts ~4-5 hours most of the time too. Not sure if that is good or not.

 

As for bulky, yeah, the thing weighs in at around 6-6.5 lbs. However, it does feel quality and has a nice rubber textured finish to it.

 

I like it, but of course a desktop at equal price would blow it away.

4 to 5 hours is good for a laptop unfortunately, but this sounds good. I already have a decent desktop (i bought it last year) but i'm going to university in 6 months so i want a powerful laptop for when i'm away to play minecraft and maybe some other games on and to also do work on. It was either the Alienware M14x or the Macbook Pro for me, but i feel the M14X is somewhat better in value for money.
