    RTS's might struggle with this laptop since they are more CPU dependent.
    One thing is BB is now selling the G73 for $200 more, that would be a much better laptop to play RTS's with since it has a i7-Quad.

    I forget but doesn't bestbuy offer something to exchange pcs if another one comes out before x days?

    Maybe you can get the g73, it'll def help you with RTS games and all games in general :)
