New budget is $500. Please give an example of what it can run, and if the computer itself is good.
At least for it's price

See that dark spot in the bottom right?
Thats from overheating. That stuff burned the plastic s little.
ACER's like to overheat like a bitch.
Thats why Its on a cooling fan.

Then how about this Toshiba?

Or this Dell?

Will they overheat as much? Will they be able to run the games mentioned?

Alienware is incredibly expensive for gaming laptops.

How much is your budget? Judging by your links I'm guessing $400?

$400 will barely buy you a decent netbook. The only netbooks that can game are like the $500 ASUS netbooks, and they can barely handle most games.

If you want a gaming laptop your price budget will have to be at least maybe $600.

Yes, it is $400. I'm just looking to see if there's any laptop at all that for $467 or less that can run Mafia 2 and America's Army 3.

Just try not to get an ACER LAPTOP. I don't mind desktops.

Mafia 2 is pretty demanding if I'm correct.

AA3 is developed by the Army, so it probably sucks and therefore has a possibility of being run.

If you want that $500 ASUS netbook I mentioned, here's the link.
It's $500, and has a dual core Atom processor with hyperthreading. 2GB RAM too, which is a lot for a netbook. And an ION2 GPU, which from the reviews can handle some games fairly decently on low settings.
