    I have the chance to get this laptop for $300. It has the core2duo and 1gb radeon 4600 graphics card. How will this do in gaming? I play a lot of Diablo III, Battlefield 3, and Counter-Strike.

    What specs exactly? Core 2 Duos range from 1.3 ghz to 2.4ghz or higher possibly... 4600 graphics card doesn't mean too much.

    You can probably expect low on all of them fairly comfortably, but I can't say for sure without knowing exact specs.

    Blue Ray player. All he knows is that the graphics card is a 4600 series.

    Well without saying for certain, it would probably get you low level graphics comfortably. Where are you buying from?
