    hello. I will be buying the m1330 for college, and while im not too big on gaming, i do often play casually.

    The desktop i currently use is really old, and has the 6600gt GPU which handles all my games perfectly. (btw, i casually play old games like wc3, sc, cs:s, etc... Not much of a fan of new gen games)

    So while searching for laptops, the m1330 looked good for college use as it was small and light. However, im sure that it will play my games better than my desktop.

    m1330 fits everything i need, except ONE performance question, will it play Starcraft 2? (pretty much the only new gen game i am looking forward to)

    Yea i know, it didnt come out yet, but can anyone assume, based on other RTS with similar graphics, and appearance, the capability of m1330 and how it might play out?

    i think the geforce 8400gs on the m1330 is about 70% as powerful as the desktop 6600gt.

    youll be able to play starcraft 2 at low/medium settings i would say.
