    No, it has the x200, an integrated card. For the price you could find much better, I would fill out the FAQs form in the What Should I Buy section. Someone should be able to help you out

    I say u should get a laptop with an X700 or Geforce 6600 in it. If u have extra money, try and get a laptop with a nice 6800 ultra or 7800

    For $1000 you'll be a bit hard pressed to find a laptop with a Dedicated GPU, but the GPU in that, the X200M is severely underestimated as to what it can do. It can play all but the very newest games, or the old(ish) annoyingly graphically intensive games (Doom 3, FEAR, etc.) at very playable framerates, though on the newer games you play on it you'll have to crank down the settings to pretty much the very lowest.

    Please do fill out the FAQ and we'll try to help you as best we can.
