Gaming laptop and only 1366 x 768 (HD 4570)...what decade?
It's really amazing what laptops get the "gaming laptop" label nowadays. Just look at this laptop.
It has a pathetically low resolution, essentially a netbook resolution.
The CPU is slow, 2ghz was the standard vanilla CPU a year ago, or more.
And, most horribly, it uses a super low-end graphics card. the "Mobility Radeon HD4570 512MB" is actually most like a desktop Radeon HD4350. Note that the 4350 was the lowest-end graphics card in the 4xxx series. I don't see how this is in any way a gaming card. Its capabilities begin and end with playing HD video, plus maybe a little Roller Coaster Tycoon thrown in if you're generous. Just look at the specs: DDR2 RAM on a 64bit bus. That cripples any chance of this being good at games right there.
These companies should be ashamed of themselves, and the deceptive marketing they're doing.
Even if you took the "gaming" out of this laptop's name, it's still a terrible deal at this price. Between the horrible resolution, slow CPU, slow graphics card, and old DDR2 RAM(good luck upgrading that), this is at best a $500 laptop.
I think, by "gaming", they mean online poker.
