I'll check it out, thanks!

Regarding gaming: The Intel 4100 card you mentioned will be crap for games, modern games will be a slide show. You should get a laptop with an actual gaming video chip. But even if you have a gaming chipset on a laptop, unless you're getting a top of the line super-gaming machine like an Alienware laptop, modern games will still be a disappointment.

Point taken, but I think the laptop I mentioned in my first post has the Intel 4400 graphics, not 4100. I won't be surprised if the answer is still the same, but I wanted to make sure. You keep saying "modern gaming," but really the only game in question here is SimCity 5. My wife has no interest in any other games (except, perhaps, Goat Simulator smile ).

I do have the opportunity to pick up this slightly older model laptop for a good price. It has a dedicated graphics card, so would that fit the bill?
