BTW, The video card info is incorrect originally i edited it.

The one im getting has 1.8 Gigs of vid card mem. (I tested it on DXDIAG)

What do you think about it?

I need to know before i get it :P
 
The original information about your graphic card IS RIGHT. Hyper Memory graphic cards are junk for gaming. It is a office notebook only. So if you only need it as office notebook, take it.
VRam isn't everything, in your case more vram is even bad. Your graphic cards takes most of the vram of the main memory.


Conclusion
Office and Internet: Yes
Gaming: No
 
It might be good for a casual gamer though, you can't expect that much from a laptop, unless you want to buy a 2000$ Alienware.
 
That's odd, I ran Heroes of Might and Magic V on it and it ran fine.

I'm buying it locally, i don't wanna wait for shipping.

There's no lag on gamez :P

GTA SA Would run GREAT, ATI Rulez :) NVIDIA Rulez MORE :P

I'll test it out when i get it if i do.

And if anyone wants to test it also (Team Viewer) Tell me :)

Its always fun trying a new PC :)

Yes you can. A good gamer laptop usually costs 799-999 €. It's only hard expensive to be up-to-date. If you always want to play the latest games, you need to buy a need notebook EVERY year.
