I've used the HD3200 - it can run quite some games, the speed is pretty much like the HD3450.

Crysis - you can run but it's a slideshow, even lowest details is not impressive.

other games like RTS (Sup Comm, C&C series blablaba) yeah you can play it at medium / low details.

wow u went thru all the trouble to search for me?

thanks but the only thing second hand that works with me is video games

everything else always seems to let me down so i always go for brand new. srry shud've told you this before you went and spent ur tym looking thru laaptops for me.
srry and thanks

btw i dnt think 3KG can be heavier than my sisters laptop i've been using lol

EDIT:
jus checked some of the lappys. the first acer seems really ... how should i say it ...' very tempting'. i might take up the anything happens cover.

thanks for bringing that laptop to attention. now i jus gotta read up their T&C's on their aything happens cover and see whether its worth it
btw does it have HD screen?
can i use the finger print reader to make it boot up only if the fingerprint matches?
