    Normal studios are not perfect for gaming, but it does hold its own, as Ice Cold said studio xps 16 is a good choice or alternatively a high end studio 1555.

    Probably not, everything else looks fine, but the intergrated graphics will kill any chance of you gaming, isn't there a option to upgrade the GPU?

    Get the Studio 15 with the ATi 4570. You can play Crysis with the right settings.

    I would up the garphics card however if you think that the 13" size screen is big enough then go for it.

    btw whats the model number for the 512mb gpu?
