Will this be able to play Most games?

So i have been wondering about this laptop but I am not very sure if I should get it as it may lack in gaming power..

Screen: 16inch 1920-1200

HDD: 160Gb@7200RPM

CPU: T9300 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo Proccesser

GPU: 9600M

RAM: 3GB @ 667ghz

With Blue Ray Technology

The laptop is HP HDX16

So would i be able to play high end (i think) games such as Company Of Heroes well enough?

how will it be for future gaming? (not high end games i.e Crysis 2 or something but rather WoW The Raith of the Litch king)

Don't listen to every wiseguy around here. The answer is YES ! I don't know what a 9600M is...but I'm going to buy a 9600 GT for my PC and it will run any game at 1280x1024 high detail. Future games....maybe at medium detail...but the idea is you don't need more than that. The newest 260/280 are for people who through money out the window... Any GF9 cards are the perfect choice for "modern" PCs.Razvan_ol

9600M is a lot slower than GT. It's a notebook card.

9600M is the Laptop version of the 9600 series but due to limited spacing inside a laptop the lack of cooling can be a problem and laptop gpus are never as powerfull as there desktop counterparts.

As for the 9600M GT its not the best gaming graphics card available in a laptop by a long shot, in fact the medium settings and medium resolution previously mentioned does sound spot on.

Here is a list of Laptop GPUS I found, not sure how old it is but it does list some of the top cards so probably not too old, the 9600M GT ranks 35th and for the sort of games you want in the future I reckon you will need something in the top 10 if not the top .

EDIT: Just noticed you only said 9600M which I cant find on the list, so not sure if its normal, GS or GT but the GS version ranks 45th.

Have fun

Thanks Guys Really helped with my decision :D

BTW its a 9600gt M...whatever that means LOL

The 9600M GT is slightly better than the 8600M GT.

You should be able to play most recent games on high settings at 1280x800. The screen resolution of 1920x1200 though is going to be too much for gaming.

You should have no problems with Company of Heroes.

Its a good midrange laptop gpu.

1. I know laptop GPUs are much slower that normal ones... And let's be serious: laptops are not for gaming !!

2. Kurgan is right. I still think it's not a bad choice... but since I don't know anything about laptops just stick to the charts in that link and buy a laptop with a better one . It seems the performance doesn't rank the same way as with desktop models.

That 9600M GT has the same specs as my 6600GT ...+DX10:|. Damn I'm stunned, the desktop 9600GTs are such great cards. Especially the OC/Ultra models from some manufacturers ...

How has the 9600GT the same specs as a 6600GT? The 9600 slaughters the latter.
