It's still not a good gaming laptop.

I saw a video of them showing L4D2 with FRAPs running on the laptop and they were saying they were getting 30-40 FPS average. While on the other hand FRAPs was showing 13-15 FPS in zombie hordes.

There is much more play time if you play the advance and challenge levels. They will really test you as it requires a you to use the least amount of portals and stuff like that.

Whats your name in-game? I think you might be able to join friends in a game. Mine is slayvus in-game.

Does anyone else have problems with finding matches in Conviction? I found ONE today in Hunter, but that was it.

Server may be down or your computer just can't reach it for some reason.

I've had this happen to me as well. You may try disabling your firewall on your PC to see if that helps or you could go into your router and set your PC to a DMZ, aka Demilitarized Zone, and see if that works.

I know with the old Age of Empires games you could play with like up to three or four people using the same disc. It would be nice if companies still did that. Only buy like six through eight copies of the game for like 24 people.

Now a days though it does require one copy of the game per person.

It's a little bit more, but I think it would be nice.
