hey was wondering im going to invest in a new laptop in about two weeks so i said to myself why not buy a laptop that will also run my favorite game ever HL and all of its counterparts. I want a premade laptop that can run HL2 and the episodes as smooth as they do on the 360.thanks in advance guys oh if you can please leave a link.

look for a laptop with at least an 8600M GT. Toshibas have the 8700M GT (higher clock speed).

the source engine, even Ep 2, isn't that heavy on the hardware. you may be able to get full performance out of that 8600. i got a solid, playable frame rate on my 7600gts and according to Gpureview, they are pretty even in stats except yours does dx10 and source doesn't have dx10 available.

This one. Will run HL2 very well on high settings and its nearly 300$ cheaper. Just make sure you update the options to a better CPU and 2gb of ram.
