Hi i'm thinking of a getting a laptop and I just wanted to know if this would be a decent one to get. I am mostly going to be using it for school but I would also want to be able to use it to play video games. I won't be playing games that require high specs only ones such as Mass Effect 3 and Borderlands 2. As long as it can play games like this in a good way such as no lag and decent graphics then I will most likely buy it. I will award 10 points to the best answer. Also please don't mention getting a desktop as I will need to take it to class. Thanks

There is no such thing as a good gaming laptop. They over heat, they aren't upgradeable, and they take tons of abuse when gaming. Just because a manufacture claims it's a gamer, it isn't close to a good game rig.

Is this a good gaming laptop?

Okay so I am about to buy this laptop
http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?ItemID=384990
for Uni study but will also want to play games on it. I know it is not up to alienware standards but from what I know about computers this will run very good games will it not? So I really want to know; What games can this run that are currently out (Crysis, Fallout3, Farcry2, Mass Effect2) and what detail levels (Eg above average, below average)
Also how long am I looking at before this is outdated (Can't run good games) 2-3 years? Or 6-12 months?
Lastly it doesn't say anywhere but you guys might know. Does it come with Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?
Many thanks Honos
Answer
For the Windows question, unless specified assume it's 32-bit, because that is the standard speed, in this case the processor native speed is 64 specified by the Intel website. While it has 4 GB's of RAM, which is a good deal that will last you some time, the processor is not that great. 1.6 GHz will show some lack when trying to run modern games. Also, you should note that the graphics card is so so. While it is 1024mb its not top of the line but it should do alright. You may be able to play Crysis but I wouldn't bother, the specs on this won't do it any justice, and to be honest I really don't know what it would look like so I would pass on that. Fallout is graphically intense, and while it should run it will def. be on low settings IMO, medium at best. Same for Far Cry. I don't know the suggested stats on Mass Effect 2, but Mass Effect 1 should run fine on it. In my opinion this is a surprisingly expensive Laptop and I feel like there may be better options for you money. While it does have a huge hard drive, I don't believe that that is necessary, and I'd rather chop that in half, in a quarter, and go the high speed external route just to keep the clutter off the portable laptop. A large hard drive like that will take forever to defragment.
With this computer you should be able to run with some success new games most likely for the next year or so. The processor worries me, but other than that it should be acceptable. This will probably be able to play games longer than that but you may begin to run into problems, and I'm not about to guess what kind of requirements games will have any further than a year.
