Thanks for the bump dude, I made slight adjustments because of this and I hope it makes finding a laptop for the price easier.

Newegg is however primarily a US site and charges your firstborn in terms of shipping, for a laptop the shipping alone is £60 and the customs tax is £104, for the UK I'd suggest dabs.com as a site, I used it for all my various desktop parts when building it.

So while doing more searching I found this along my travels http://tinyurl.com/ozk3f9y and I have two questions about it.

1: What are the graphics settings it can handle on 30+ solid frames for games made in 2013 and games made in 2014?

2: What sort of games would it take to be unplayable on this? (My unplayable means not a solid 30+ frames at all times of playing, doesn't matter what the graphics settings are)
