look at the "best" column

The 425M is at best a mid-range card for laptops. It will probably get you playable frame rates in Battlefield: BC2, Starcraft II and Call of Duty: MW2. See here for some game benchmarks: http/www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Geforce-GT-425M.34152.0.html

The price isn't bad, but I agree for long term gaming you'll need something more powerful.

i would say it is not the best deal if you want a gaming laptop that can handle anything on high graphics smoothly and if you can spend 1000+$ i would say go with this one http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8690-built-clevo-w860cu-custom-gaming-laptop-p-2659.html
