Yep, integrated GPUs are just awful for any game. OP, do you really NEED a laptop? Many laptop users never actually move their laptop anywhere; they'd be better off getting a desktop. For $600 you can get a decent PC with a large LCD, comfortable keyboard and mouse (no trackpad, woot!), and better performance. So see if you actually NEED the portability of a laptop. good point, i think ill just wait out then thanks m8 You don't really need to wait, Dell has some good deals going on I believe :)
