I am going to buy a new laptop and I've been looking around quite a lot for a good one. I fuond this one, an HP Pavilion dv7-3199eo laptop. The system specifications looked very good, but then I heard the GPU (a NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M with 1 GB of dedicated vRAM and up to 2815 MB shared) was not good for gaming. So, my question is: Is it good or not? Will it be able to run Starcraft 2 on ultra?
EDIT:
I bought an MSI GX740, specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 - 450m 2,4 GHz, Turbo 2.66 GHz, dual core, Hyper Threading
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1066 MHz
GPU: Ati Radeon HD 5870, 1 GB GDDR5
HDD: 500 GB 7200 rpm
Display: 17", 1680x1050
This runs Starcraft 2 (and also modern warfare 2) perfectly smooth with everything at ultra and 1680x1050 resolution.
These benchmarks (below) are obviously wrong saying 3 GHz is needed.
