Want to find a laptop that I can use to game as well as office,

Musts:
Be able to run COD MW2 and Star trek online

Prefer one with nvidia chipset but would accept ati

Any suggestions, or what laptop graphics card id be looking for,

Seen this one which seems quite good

MSI CX600 Laptop
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz
4GB RAM
500GB Hard Drive
16" WXGA
ATi Mobility Radeon HD4330
Bluetooth + Webcam
Windows 7 Home Premium
 
The HD4330 is a low end budget card. Definitely better than integrated, but won't be able to run MW2 on high. Probably low with very few settings on medium.

Aim for at least the new 4650 i'd say.
 
Oh please, i've never had a laptop last more than four years with even the lightest of use. There are undeniable severe cooling problems that i certainly wouldn't trust any sort of serious CPU usage (gaming) to.
 
I don't intend to do serious gaming on it, its more for sto, bc2 would be a bonus really, been looking over at notebookcheck.net and seems to be a good gfx card guide for what would be ideal
 
I already have a decent desktop setup :)
