15.6-in. LED HD display (1366 x 768)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M graphics, 1 GB

2 built-in JBL stereo speakers (1.5 W)
External ports: Line-out (speakers/headphone), microphone

Operating System:
Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit version.

I'm getting horrible framerate with the laptop, and it seems a pretty decent machine.

Is it just a bad laptop or something? Or poor optimization.

Mediocre, for a laptop. What game are you getting poor framerate in?C_Rule

Why is it so horrible? Can you give me an explanation?

Are you by any chance using a Lenovo Y570?

The GT555M in that laptop is severely striped down: 96 cores vs the 144 in a real GT555M.

If you're not using a Lenovo, you should be getting decent framerates.
