Re: Laptop
The 4650 is more for media enterntainment; than gaming. Is it a customizable laptop? If so, no need for a 2 GHz quad core, lower it to a 2.5+GHz dual-core, and get a better graphics like 4830, 4850, 4870 or 4860.
Try this laptop for example:

Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger that we CAN imagine.<br />
