    I'm looking for a cheap laptop up to £200 just for point and click gaming and wi-fi. I found this HP6910p. It only has a scratched lid apparently. Does anyone have experience with this model who could say it's components are solid and reliable enough that it might be a pretty safe bet to buy it? Or are there issues with it and it's not recommended?

    The second main question I have is the built in graphics. That link doesn't specify which one it has, but should I assume, going by this HP Compaq 6910p Review

    that it's the Intel GMA X3100? If so, then going by this Intel GMA X3100 Graphics Performance Review it doesn't seem that great? I need to say, I'm not looking to play heavy graphics FPS type games on it, just point and click adventures such as the broken sword type games. But the latest point and clicks are a bit more graphically intensive then they used to be. Most of the games I'm looking to play don't require more or much more than 2GHz processing speed and 2 GB ram.

    Here's two examples of games I'll be playing, showing system requirements. Would the HP 6910p and the GMA X3100 cut it?

    edit: Forget that one, I'm going to stay away from integrated graphics. Can anyone recommend an HP laptop with a good dedicated graphics card? I need something at least equivalent to GeForce 7800 GT, Radeon X800 XT, Radeon X1000/GF 6?
