Can my new HP HDX latop play Crysis properly at mid to high settings?

I just bough this baby over the weekend and am busy optimising it-

removing unwanted software and services.

freeing up as much ram as possible,

I don't actually play games on P.C. only my Xbox360, but so far I have been really impressed running some demos on max setting s like Company of Heroes, Fear and Unreal 2005 for this laptop

I chose to go with a laptop instead of a desktop because of my line of work, conveniance and mobility- though with this laptop it does tip the scale to a near small desktop replacement for it's size

* I have a 1900*1200 full 1080p second monitor if that will make a difference, But I prefer to use the laptop screen as the main monitor.

What else do you guys suggest I can do to get the most out of this. I don't know If I can upgrade the Ram, GPU or other essential for this machine and external things like drives, external harddrives, and all are out of the question.

any body here have a simliar spec laptop and is running games like Crysis, Prey Call of Duty 4 - what do you think?

No.

This is definately not spam.

( I saved up so many months and paychecks to get this laptop)

I'm proud of my purchase I'll post some shots of the games running.

I would have gotten Alienware, but I'm not a hardcore pc gamer and I prefer this laptop because of it's other functions that in my opinion tops Alienwares offers. The large screen, harddrive, remote control and media center, blu ray and other stuff

I notice the big difference when playing certain games on my laptop and my xbox360 (I still love my 360) I though playing my Command and conquer 3 Kane on the 1080p monitor looked good, but compared to running Company of Heroes on the laptop- I can definately zoom in more where i can actually make out the eyes, mouths and animations such as trees and actua leaves swaying. Maybe this is just the games but I know understand why some PC players sort of seem snooty to console gamers.

The funny thing is I prefer to play on consoles.

When the BIG ttiles come out I'm definately playing in on the Laptop instead - RTS games StarCraft2, Crysis, Mass Effect

I'm definately a big fan of certain genres on PC's now.

I have to admit my glee has a bit of a chink in the armour as from my understanding integrated graphics cards can not be upgraded.

I'm wandering exactly what can you upgrade on a laptop that's important for games.

I may have to Call HP about what I can install. I'm confident the computer can play games for the following year,, but now I'm paranoid that I spent so much money that I wont get any decent performance out of games that will comes out in two years.

Any one own a laptop and have they managed to upgrade theirs?

The Things you can upgrade on your Laptop- HARDWARE WISE are

-Physical Memory

-Internal Hard drive(s)

-Opitical Drive, for example, DVD-rom (on some models)

-Processor (some Models)

-Battery

-Keyboard (some Models)

Things you can't upgrade are

-Screen...

-Graphics processor/card

-Motherboard

-Speakers ( for most laptops)

-Sound chip

Laptops aren't meant for gaming only because they can't be upgradable. Your laptop will probably last 2-3 years before you might consider upgrading again. Usually any laptop that is between 1,500-2,000 dollars is a good investment. Anything higher will be a waste of money depending on hardware, anything lower will probably have **** hardware.

www.xoticpc.com --> Most laptops there are good, and would be able to last for 3-4 years. They offer intel extreme processors, and SLI configurations on a laptop. Although they come with a price..

No.
