I'm not going to tell you the price, but you guess how much? I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off. If I am, I'm going to bringi it back to the shop. I have 14 day warranty :)

Also, can I run Diablo 3 on low settings with my current specs?
Thats the only game I play :)

Thank you.

If if works for what you need it to do and you got it at a good price then you got a good laptop for you.

Yea I got it for Uni work etc. However I would love to play Diablo 3 too, but I am getting bad stutters ingame and abit of lag on the lowest settings. Any ideas? :(

Lower the resolution? if 13x7 is too slow try 1024x768 with black bars.

Or try Torchlight 1 -- I played that all the way through on an intel i3-2100 with HD 2000 graphics (though at 1024 x 768).

I play windowed mode though and I can't change resolution unless I switch to fullscreen. Will it make any difference? ;(

Here are my settings.

Anything I should change?

Two things:
- Windowed mode is an automatic performance hit, sometimes as much as 40-50%
- I see that you're on battery, try plugging in. Most laptops limit graphics performance when on battery.
