    MSI GX640
    - 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050)
    - Intel® Core™ i7-620M, 2.66-3.33GHz, (4MB L3 cache)
    - ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD5850 1024MB PCI-Express GDDR5 DX11 (assuming the latest spec sheet is right)
    - 6GB (2 SODIMM) DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory (1x4GB, 1x2GB)
    - 500GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)

    Trying to find a good laptop that will last me 2-3 years and be able to game a bit (medium settings). Would it be worth it for upgrade to a 720QM? (+$15, but i care about battery life) I've been thinking lately that I want a gaming laptop but then realised all I want it for is to play SC2, Diablo 3, and Bioware RPGs on PC. The Blizzard games will run on anything made in the last decade so now I'm thinking about RPGs.
