laptop question

[dudedrew18]

Hey, i'd like some feedback on this laptop. the only thing that seems to make me hesitate on buying it, is that it's the x600 series gfx card. i would like to play games on it decently. hopefully call of duty 2?
thanks

If you could recommend other laptops that are good for gaming and are under $2000 that'd be great as well.

- Shared video card memory

- 1GB RAM, with 256MB RAM eaten up by the video card. That's only 768MB total. You'll need to upgrade.

- Heavy, 7.5 pounds. For portablity, its pretty impractical.


For gaming, a desktop is a much better choice. A Shuttle-sized PC with an LCD monitor is going to be much cheaper, and look as portable

128mb video memory + up to 128mb shared. That's what the HyperMemory means.
