    Hey guys,
    Does the Malibal P151HM1 have back lit keys?

    Also, will the 560m be enough to run BF3 and League of legends with decent FPS at High or medium settings?

    None of Clevo/Sager laptops have backlit keys and none of the Clevo/Sager resellers are offer the customization of backlit keys at the moment. However, Clevo is experimenting with backlit keys built into their newer generation of laptops and they have actually demonstrated a working prototype at Computex 2011. I have heard rumors that the backlit keyboard on the newer models may be backwards compatible with models today but no one really knows until Clevo decides to release this information.

    Regarding the 560m, it is a great GPU that can play pretty much any modern game today. However, the 560m has its limitations and you have to keep in mind that laptop GPUs as of today cannot compare to their desktop rivals. Games such as BF3 will stress your 560m at the absolute maximum settings but that is why more powerful cards such as the 6990m and 580m exist, in order to play the newest and most demanding of games, expect to shell out a substantial amount of money. On the other hand, what the 560m can probably do is run the BF3 on moderately high settings and most likely max out League of Legends with decent FPS.

    Never use this tool to base off game requirement verification. That tool is hideously inaccurate.

    That being said, the 560M is able to still run BF3 on Medium-High was fluid FPS though so you are fine, but don't expect everything on Ultra.

    I my last laptop was a 900 mhz pentium 3, 384mb (max), geforce 2go 16mb. i was actually running some serious title gta 3 would not run but, say vice city and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 would.

    you'd be surprised what you can get away with.
