Ok, i want to get a laptop mostly for school work and was just planning on getting the cheapest notebook available. But then i found out that if i spend $1000 more on dell, i can get 20% off so....

Anyways here is the laptop im planning on getting

Inspiron 1501
PROCESSOR AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-56
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005
LCD PANEL 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display
MEMORY 2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM
HARD DRIVE 60GB Hard Drive
VIDEO CARD ATI RADEON® Xpress1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (Integrated)


I barely know enough about desktop computers, but i know nothing about notebooks. So i was wondering if this could play movies and play some games. I dont mean high end games but i would like to be able to play some low end lan games like CS Source and maybe WoW (world of warcraft).

Anyways my main question would just be what is the hardest game this can play. And should i make any changes to make this play better game?

P.S. i dont mind playing games on very low settings.

I own 2 dells both inspiron one a e1595 other a e1405 I game very little and must say my favorite is the 1405 due to the size its just easier to handle also core duo rocks! my last notebook was a hp 5301 with a turionX2 ill never own another too many problems could not keep the keyboard working long enough to post anything check the core duos on dells site also go to notebook reviews forums and you will find coupons for inspirons there happy hunting
