    I just bought this notebook the other day(this being my first notebook). My main goal for this note book was for school/work and a little bit of gaming but when I mean gaming, I'm talking about old games like Warcraft 3 and Counter Strike. They run great on this notebook, however my question is, do they work well with new games such as FEAR or Half Life 2?

    I have the 2GHz model and I have no problems playing FEAR. You won't be able to play it at Maximum settings, but it has absolutely 0 lag at medium settings (3/5). So I would say this notebook will play even the more demanding games for at least the next one or two years (not at max settings obviously).
