Is a laptop with 1.6 ghz, 1gb ram, a 100gb hard drive and 256mb ram good enough for gaming?

No


At least 2.4ghz+ CPU
1GB Ram
And a decent onboard GPU that can do pixel shading etc.

It's mostly the inferior (integrated) video card that causes laptops to not meet the system requirements of many-many (modern) games.

(There's no need to open a new thread!)

The CPU seems to be a bit too slow for today's standards. Also, the "GO" in the video card's name is a bit suspicious - it may be the "el cheapo" version of a Geforce card and may not be compatible with modern games.

Laptop

So do you reckon it will be alright with the modern games for 5 years or so?

I am getting it from acer so the graphics card should be alright.

Now this is a gaming laptop that will last a LONNNGGGGG time before needing to be changed.

But at 1500GBP it is actually a very nice price, with laptops you get what you pay for.

There is a Ferrari 1000 series at 1100GBP which is equally ok.

Also if you know someone who owns a store he can get a 20% discount.
