Now before everyone rushes to say how bad Intel GMA is, please be aware that I know my hardware and I am well aware of how bad the 4500MHD would be in relation even to the ATI 3200/4200, NVIDIA 8200/9200, or of course anything discrete.
The reason why I ask is that I would like to pick up an Acer Aspire 1810T (this machine is incredible for 11.6") but would like to be able to play the following if possible:
Diablo II
StarCraft
WarCraft III
Titan's Quest
TorchLight
Knights of the Old Replublic (I and II)
ScummVM (Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, The Dig, etc.)
I have no intention of running Crysis, CoD4, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or any thing new-ish for that matter. I have a desktop for that...
-
I can confirm that it will run Diablo II, Starcraft, Warcraft III TFT and Torchlight.
ScummVM doesent really require a hefty gpu so they should run alright.
Good luck. -
Intel 4500MHD isn't a card designed for gaming, but it should do fine for the games you listed, what's the CPU in the acer aspire? From what i have seen, warcraft III TFT can give you trouble if you got a weak CPU inside that laptop, especially if there are lots of units appear on the screen.

Diablo 2, Starcraft and WC3 will have no problem at all; I can run those on a Celeron M with a GMA950. KotOR will be a bit harsher on your system, but it'll still play(I had to put it on low for the GMA950 machine).
I can't really vouch for either Titan Quest or Torchlight though sorry. -
Torchlight runs on Intel Atom N270 with Intel GMA 950 so you should be okay.
If not you can turn on "Netbook Mode" in options. -
... it won't crysis , GTA IV or many other games which require NVDIA or ATI card... not really a gaming card...

KotOR 1 and 2 will run as I've managed to get it to run on a GMA950 with everything at lowest. The issue mostly comes that it won't run on Vista/7 so you'll have to use the XP compatibility mode if you're on Windows 7.
-
i ran titan's quest with intel x3100 on med-high settings perfectly fine so you should be fine with titan's quest.

Thanks for all your feedback.
As far as KOTOR Vista/7 compatibility is concerned, I've been running them both on my desktop in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with no issues.
It looks more and more like I'll be picking up the 1810T; based on your feedback, it seems to me that it may just do the trick!
Is there a comprehensive list of games playable on the 4500MHD?
