If you want to play decent games get a desktop, no £550 laptop will.

That would do nicely.

The 7600 at that resolution will do nicely.

Good find for that price.

It doesn't have the best build quality, but to be fair, it doesn't have the worst either.

Core2 at 1.66ghz/667 fsb, 2gb ram and the 7600. Yeah, it'll game.
