    I just want a cheap but somewhat decent laptop to play tomb raider on. Anybody know if the v5204nr compaq fits the bill? Here are the specs:
    Intel Celeron Processor 410 1.48Ghz, 1MB 1.2 Cache 533 MHz FSB 512 MB 40GB HD

    Thanx.

    I assume you mean the most recent Tomb Raider game? If so, I doubt it will be playable on any notebook with an integrated graphics card. I played through it a while back on my AMD X2 desktop with a 7800GT, and I had some mild slowdown in spots.

    Older Tomb Raider games, however, shouldn't require much, but I don't have any first-hand experience.
