Put bluntly, laptops aren't designed with games in mind, unless you buy and all bells and whistles gaming one for ££££ or $$$$.
With a little ebaying and shoping about, a budget AMD gaming system can be built for very little money.
Here's my budget pc recommendation (capable of playing modern games):
ASUS 785g AMD mobo: £70
AMD phenom ll 550be: £50
Ram 4gb (any brand): £25
GPU xfx HD 6850: £115
That's only £260 for the major components, add £50-£100 fo case, HDD and DVD drive and your set to go!
Ok this is way off your original question.. But hey free advice is exactly that
