My Dell XPS M170 runs ever game out there, clean with no choppy video, or anything else. It's very light weight considering it's compenents, and it's just down right a bad ass system. If you have the money to buy a lap top, it's worth saving up for a Dell XPS M170. I paid about 3500 dollars for mine, but I had other add-ons, including more ram, a faster hard drive. I also saved over a thousand dollars with a Corporate discount through Coors I had access to, plus I used an online coupon. If you got the money, it's absolutely worth it.
