...Erm, no. (There's no such thing as windows 7 gaming, by the way.)

Is this an Alienware? It sure smells like one. It's got a very bad video card in it - it won't do what you want.

That being said, you won't find a laptop at that price that can do that. Gaming laptops are underpowered and overpriced. You'd be more price/performance savvy by getting a desktop for gaming AND a cheap laptop for portability.

I really like gaminglaptopsjunky.com. My favorite in that price range is the lenovo Y480. Yeah it has a smaller screen, but that can help when it comes to gaming performance. For $730 it's a great deal.
