    The words "great", amazing graphics & very fast" do not go well with €500, it just ain't going to happen.

    Do you mean a laptop for in or around €500 euro or perhaps some entity that resembles or represents €500? say an equivelant weight in gold bars.

    the "like" bit, is throwing me you understand. For a minute there, I thought we were all in Southern California perhaps partaking of an episode of The OC.

    €500 laptops don't usually come with discrete graphics cards, and so they won't be much good for games.

    If you shop around, you will just about get something with a low-end GPU (9300M or Ati HD3470) - that will be just enough to play non demanding games (i.e games from a few years back). FM09 should work fine.
