It looks pretty nice, but I really don't know the insides and outsides of graphics cards. :\

I took a look at the specs. Isn't the phenom pretty good?

I'm just looking for laptops that run TF2, HL2, CSS, etc. (Smoothly, and on decent settings.)

The only thing is, it's $360 or around that price. This makes me suspicious about if it's good for gaming.

So tell me... is this good?

I'll appreciate reviews! :3

Laptops are generally not good for gaming. But Source games don't take much to run.
I think you'd be fine for the games you mentioned.

no

Are you kidding?  I've heard tons of good reviews for HP. I just saw a topic last week stating that HP was really the only decent thing aside from DELL, but that may of just been the author of the post's opinion.

Psshht.

I've seen a damn good hp laptop. Hp Pavillion dv7, with Beatsaudio, Windows 7, 2 headphone slots, and tons of other stuff.

No blue screens. Ever.

Also, it ran Steam games like a beast.

I've had an HP for years and the only time I ever got a blue screen was when the fans clogged, and that was from overheating because I never blew them clean with air in a can.

You're pretty funny.

Dell? Decent?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha

Anyway, HP is possibly one of the best laptop brands without splurging out too much. They use good quality parts and are better balanced than the stuff I wouldn't even wipe my ass with (dell).

It's great for the price. It wouldn't run Source games on max, but it would run them.

Alright bro, let me clarify this, I had an HP Pavillion dv7. was great for first year, after that the CPU was pretty much giving out (I used it alot though). The Dv seris isn't really made that well; I'd go with a desktop if you seriously want gaming. Laptops are made to be portable and convenient, not for gaming. No matter what they say about "gaming" laptops, they are still not the best choice.

Terraria is a Steam game.

Grand Theft Auto IV is also a      Steam game.

Your point?

I'm pretty sure he means Source games.
