    Hey Guys,

    Recently got a Dell Vostro 1500 and decided to post about its gaming performance. The Laptop is actually more powerful than my desktop, which means I think the laptop may replace it for gaming. The performance itself really suprised me, way better than I expected. I will be adding more games in the next day or so...now lets begin ;)

    All benchmarks are ran at 1280x800 unless stated

    Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast Stress Test:

    This is running at max as you can see in the following screen -

    And here are the results -

    As you can see its a pretty good result, and the gameplay itself runs fluidly, in original HL2 I'm getting roughly 100FPS on max :)

    Coming Soon: Guild Wars, WoW, Far Cry, Counter Strike and More ;)
