    It should have no problem handling that game.

    I posted this in another thread but I thought you might want to read it first:

     

    I had this same mentality when I got my gaming Laptop. That mentality quickly changed. I got a Studio XPS 1650 ($1500) to replace my 3 year old desktop two months ago. I was so excited that I could finally go anywhere and play games and whatnot.

     

    All you soon-to-be laptop gamers need to understand this... IT GETS REALLY HOT. And by really hot I mean hot enough where you'll have to be drinking water because you're dehydrating yourself by sweating through your palms so much. It's a very uncomfortable experience. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I learned my lesson. The game I would play the most is Team Fortress 2, and in 30 minutes I just couldn't do it anymore because my palms were dripping with sweat (I've got skinny hands too).

     

    I've since sent my laptop back and got my money back. Going to wait 5-10 years when they hit the maximum graphics line and then start working on things like heat and power consumption, then I'll look at laptops again.

    He who keeps his cool best wins.
