Someone in internet have recommended this labtop for gaming which is about $800.
But those ppl who gave -one out of five stars- for this, which is not recommending,
said that this labtop has some bad issues. i thought it wouldnt be bad cuz
it alrdy has great gpu and things, but the issues were that i had b4 for my old labtop.
(ex. freezing, problems about keypad and even usb mouse and things, others etc...

so, if you would recommend another labtop for gaming at range about &600-$1000,
plz do so.

im planning to play StarCraft 2 and also going to play some other good graphiced games.
Currently i have 'Dell XPS M1210.' cool labtop. it was volume and video controller at front of labtop.
this labtop was great in past 6 years. it was perfect. even now
i think is can be considered good. however, this cannot play new games sadly.

The HD 6570M is expected to do a bit better than the HD 5650 and HD 5730.

That's going to be the best value for your money. high-resolution screen. Next-gen CPU, high-end GPU, easily-upgradable RAM. $980.

hi guys thx for recommending few labtops
but wat i want is not a big labtop.
i want labtop that is about 1200~1400 ~800 which is portable
which is not that heavy because i am a student and sometimes
i need to travel with labtop in my bag. (bag is big enough)

hey WR2, :bounce:
i think
Lenovo IdeaPad Y560p Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 15.6" 1366x768 & Radeon HD 6570M
aint bad choice.
but i have question. does this labtop have graphic card extension? (which is switchable)
and, is CPU good enough? i know that GPU is enough but i dont know lot of staffs about CPU.
is it enough to run a game like starcraft2, or some other games that needs great cpu ?

Last question. can you play all games that are on planet with this labtop? :hello:

Ex plain what you mean in more detail.

The CPU is very good. You probably can't find a laptop with a better CPU in your price range.

1. :bounce: is there any games that you cannot play with this labtop?

2. can you switch the graphic card when it is no longer needed?

ex. i was using 6year old graphic card. now im going to change it to most recent graphic card.
but some labtop 's graphic card are not able to be switched to the other graphic card.
for example Dell's labtop XPS M1210's graphic card is not switchable. you can not change graphic card forever and can only use one specific graphic card which provided by the company.

1. It should run most games well.
You may need to use low or medium graphics settings on some games.
2. No
