Hello all,

Well,I´m still on the prowl for a decent notebook and was thinking of not breaking the bank for a high end notebook.

I found the following notebook...

Aspire 5741G-436G64MN - RET Legitimate Windows® 7 Home Premium , Intel® Core™ i5 processor 430M (2.26GHz/FSB: 1066MHz/3MB L3 cache), 15.6" High Definition 1366x768 pixel resolution, high-brightness (200-nit) Acer CineCrystal™ LED-backlit TFT LCD, 16:9 aspect ratio, 6GB DDR3 RAM (1x 4GB + 1x 2GB), 640GB HDD (1x 640GB 5400rpm), Super Multi DVD-RW Dual Layer, Numeric Keypad, 6-cell 2.2, Wired & Wireless Lan 802.11N, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 320M 1GB DDR3, HDMI, Bluetooth®, 5-in-1 card reader, 1.3MP CrystalEye

I need to know if this will be able to run Starcraft 2 on high in its native resolution.

I will also be using this for photoshop, solid works and some cad.


Will this suffice?
 
Starcraft 2 will probably only run with medium settings.(not totally sure)
Some cad software needs a quadro card for acceleration.
