I only wanna run Diablo III and maybe some light WoW gaming, nothing more, just for Office 365, photoshop etc otherwise

it should be ok but keep in mind the apu has integrated graphics if i were in your shoes id look for a laptop with dedicated graphics as well as an i5 or i7 but i should be ok dont quote me on it tho

I am going to say no, as that APU is only a dual core, and Blizzard titles being unfriendly to AMD hardware.

Diablo 3, it should run fine, that does not have much of a requirement, especially since it's a 768 screen and not 1080. The "recommended" spec from Blizzard is only a Core 2 Duo.

For WOW, eh... on low settings it can run decently, you'd probably be on 20 FPS in most areas on low. Playable, but not good. If you want to have a good experience with games (or rather past those like Diablo 3), you want a system with a 960m video card or higher. A 950m is OK, a 940m is marginal, but faster than the one you picked out. Maybe something like this https://www.amazon.com/Acer-E5-573G-15-6-Inch-GeForce-Windows/dp/B012IBOCRU

Keep in mind laptops are not upgradable past RAM and a faster hard drive in over 90% of models, so if you are looking at keeping what you get now for a few years, plan on what you will want to use it for in 3-4 years not what it can barely run now. Minimum specs now = too slow in a few years. A $650-700 system is much better.

This is $600 and is a lot better for games that the one you linked https://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9B-34-315-423&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBiz-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBiz-PC-_-pla-_-Gaming+Laptops-_-9B-34-315-423&gclid=CjwKEAjwrvq9BRD5gLyrufTqg0YSJACcuF812FM8nd-6xMUBSL3jAntvzGOeQ1M3ZIJnIzdTD_glrBoCBwXw_wcB Of course you will need to find about the same specs in your area, this is just an example for you what to look for.

My laptop runs like 45fps, max, on low, with the same resolution, and I have a sandy bridge i5, with a GT 540m.

Diablo or WOW? Diablo even a slower modern laptop can run decently. WOW will have some issues, but I think that A9 (first time I ran across that CPU though), should run it on low at a good 20 fps. That may not be too much fun though, but I have hit that a few times and it's playable, although just barely.

That would be WoW. I haven't played D3, in forever. Even GW2, which isn't too terribly demanding, I don't do all that great with.

I bought the Lenovo Ideapad 510 in the end. It works really well with WoW Diablo and some AAA games ^_^
