    If you want to play games at high quality, and have portability, buy/build a decent desktop and buy a laptop.

    You won't get very far with an 11" laptop, really. Playing on anything below 17" 4:3 or 19" 16:9 is torture, whatever the resolution.

    Here's a video of the M11x with the 335m card running Battlefield. Not too bad but seems a little jerky.

    Not bad, but you'd be well on your way to a very decent PC with that budget. The screen size is a complete killer too.

    check this website with laptops graphic cards tests. Find your card and read summary - it is only mid class graphic card.
    When I selected results by 3dmark 06 - your graphic card 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M was far far away from the top
