    You should be able to play games such as CoD4 and L4D at low to medium settings

    Also for finding out which games your computer can run post in this thread
    You are likely to get more replies that way

    Hope this helps

    ok. just had quick look around. you will be able to play both those games, but you will have lower graphics/resoloution. you could try a free app called systemrequirementslab. its not perfect ,but will give you an idea about whether your system will run a particular game.

    I owned this laptop for a few days, then returned it. It works fine, exept that the graphics card works under its possibilities. It is clocked 500/400, which is similar to a 3450 DDR2 card. Tried to clock it higher with no success.

    Apart from that, laptop looks cool, runs fine, is comfortable, and seemed to be always with cool temps, keyboard is also comfortable.

    I ran 3DMark06 and go 1634 points on that one.

    Then changed it for an Acer 5930G at the same exact price, and got around 5700 points.

    I guess if you don't bother running current games at low graphics settings it can be a nice laptop.

    Both Acer and Asus costed 749 euros, so i did not have to spend extra money when I changed the first one for the second.
