Yes, also if you want more out of it you could get a CPU from that well known auction site and upgrade it. The A8-3520M offers 400 shaders @ 444mhz (instead of 320 @ 400mhz) and only costs £35 for a 35% graphics power boost.

thanks for the replies just looking into the a8 and ive found a laptop pretty much same spec as the one above but with A8-3520M and it says it has
AMD Radeon HD 6620G + 7450M Dual GPU

will these crossfire or will it just run either depending on situation? im willing to pay the 60quid extra if it means better gaming performance
 
It'll do
If I'm right, these will run in a crossfire like setup
You can OC the CPU quite a bit with these processors which will increase the performance a lot
 
Thanks for the advice

I ended up getting a8 3520m can manage to overclock it to 3ghz but keeping it stock for now with 7450m everything ive thrown at it is playable on high settings (25-30 is playable for me) get 20fps on high in skyrim lol

it does crossfire but only on directx10 and above its amazing to realise how many games are still directx9 so its a bit disappointing that a lot of the stuff i currently play doesnt take advantage e.g skyrim, diablo 3 beta,tera thought they would be at least dx10.

AMD Quad-Core A8-3520M (1.6 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache)
