    Its got a decent enough processor and enough RAM. However the graphics isn't that great. You'd probably get ~30-40fps on medium settings 1366x768 I'd guess.

    That'd do. As long as it looks better than my xbox. ;)

    That should do fine, the gt 525 is easily overclocked if you wanna eek out a few more fps.

    Oh just one more thing. This should do at least 720p on a external monitor right? On medium settings.

    Should do. I was on BF3 alpha with a similar laptop (GT540M instead), had it running at about 50fps on low/medium settings and still looked amazing

    Nice one. Thanks for the help. See I saw this laptop on the uk dell outlet. I can get it for around 550 euro so I think its a great deal.

    I was looking for gaming laptops for another user in a different thread and this is what I found.
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=73984993&postcount=10

    If you take a look at the second link in that post. You will see the HD 5650 performs slightly better than the GT 525M. Apart from that benchmark I know nothing about mobile graphics cards and I am a little confused as to why that laptop is so cheap.

    Just thought I'd give you some more choice :P

    Yeah I saw that before. It has a slightly better GPU, but the processor is a good bit worse, it has a Gig less ram, smaller HDD and the xps has a better screen and speakers....so I think mine still wins. :p

    Even though I was comparing the price of it to other laptops on saveonlaptops and none had a GPU anywhere near it's one for a similar price. That's the part that confused me :)

    If you've found a better laptop than that for similar price why not share it with the world :D I don't know if the guy in that post has bought yet.
