Try taking this over to the Buying Tips, Advice and Discussion (http://forums.macrumors.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54) subforum. You'll probably get better and more numerous responses and less flames.

IMHO, it probably won't be very fun to play games on this thing. The processor isn't bad, but the shared graphics are kind of weak.

X200 shared graphics card? Be prepared to play Minesweeper in 4 colours. I don't know how demanding BF2 is (never seen or played it) but I do know any graphics card that says "shared" for a £400 laptop isn't going to perform well at all. Heck I bought a £999 laptop 2 years ago when HL2 came out and I was forced into super low resolutions, Doom 3 dared not work at all.

dude that thing is hurting. And its over 1000$ cdn! Damn! You wouldn't be able to play much on that thing. Dell has some for under 500 pounds

They aren't great but spending a little more will help you
