I don't know much about gaming laptops, but will this be able to play games like CoD4 smoothly. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220349R If not, which one of these would be a price conscious upgrade. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=False&Order=PRICE
if it has a good bus speed eg something at east a Nevadian 8600gt then it will own cod 4 and probably play crisis lag free on medium. Hope this helps.
Laptop and gaming don't work out well together. Unless it being portable is an absolute MUST, then don't consider a gaming laptop.
I agree with hot sause on this as they cost more to get the same kick as a PC and also they tend to have alot of gremlins due to them more or less squashing a desktop into a PC size space also making them very hot not good if you plan on ever having children.
