"A Laptop That Can Actually Game?"

Fireleo Fireleo Q Hi Vicious Sid. What would you give my laptop on a scale of 1 to 10? I have an Intel Core duo t2500 2.0 ghz, 1 gb ram at 533ghz,nVidia Geforce Go 7600 256mb, 80 GB hard drive at 5200 rpm.

You're a solid 8. Congrats! You blow away my fair-to-middlin' MacBook Pro (2.0 Ghz Core Duo, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB 5200 RPM drive, Radeon X1600 Mobility with 256 RAM, etc).

Toss another 1 GB of RAM into that sucker and you get bumped to an 8.5. That's a nice little portable gaming machine, but it still won't run games like FEAR or Oblivion with all details at super high resolutions. Still, that's a massive improvement over me -- I can barely run FEAR at all.
