    Considering the low resolution, it would run pretty much all games just fine; Crysis included.

    Thank you for the fast response, I was having trouble comparing this laptop with a Lenovo running similar specs but with Nvidia 240M GT. I'm guessing the ATI 5730 is a bit stronger.

    Notebookcheck is useful; it's not that reliable but it's easy to look up. The 5730 is definitely a step up from the GT 240M; it's more like the GTS 250M in performance.

    Note that you'll need to put Crysis on medium settings to get it to run well, but I would think that's okay.
