How capable of gaming is this laptop?

Intel® Core i7 2820QM 2.3GHz (3.4GHz w/Turbo Boost, 8MB Cache)

3.0GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M using NVIDIA Optimus technology

750GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s

8GB 1600Mhz RAM

14.0" High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlight

So can this laptop game? How well on modern games, and games in general? Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, Company of Heroes, Fear, CS, how about games coming out this summer/fall, is there a BIG jump expected or can I expect to game for a solid 2-4 years?

Its ok, but 3GB on that GPU is useless, unless its for GTA 4.

its GOOD for a laptop, thats all that can be said really, laptops don't compare to desktops because of obvious limitations and the one that you posted is probably one of the best you can buy.

As has been stated, that there is pretty much as good as it gets for Laptops. All the games that you stated will run perfectly fine at max settings.

I'd kill to get that laptop :D

Okay, first of all, I'm pretty sure you already knew or kinda knew this laptop is a beast just from the price (whatever the price may be). This sounds like you're just bragging about this super awesome laptop you're going to get.

I am assuming you're bragging because if you were actually concerned, you would be asking "am I getting my bang for my buck on this laptop" instead of an obvious question like "urr, uhhh, can this thing even play games?"

you will be able to play games on medium some settings on high and get decent frames at your native resolution. AA will be turned off, and any other demanding feature will also have to be turned off like reflections and HBAO. This laptop will do you good for starcraft 2 though :D I suggest getting a desktop, and waiting for the AMD llano apu laptops to be released in the coming month and getting one of those. That laptop will have a really good video card will be able to crossfire with another similar discrete card and won't cost you an arm and a leg.
