Sorry 007 but i have to COMPETELY disagree with you. I currently use an Acer ferrai (3k I think, or 3200) with a radeon 9200 (128) and it games absolutely fine. I was playing work of warcraft fine on a secondary monitor.
Disk access is a pig, but solved that with an external USB 3.5" hdd. (some things use far too much disk access for their own good and thats one area that all laptops suck in)
From the machine though could play battlefield fine, and quite a few other games that aren't exactly easy on the CPU. none of them played at 800 x 600, I wouldn't torment myself to anything lower than 1024 x 768 or higher. Tribes vengence worked quite nicely.
I think you'll also find that sir-sonyericsson man uses one (an acer) too, I maybe mistaken but on his ferarri 4k he plays BF2. Thats not exactly known to be light on its requirements either. (he'll have to correct me if i'm wrong
)
So yeah, in conclusion - you're wrong. (in the nicest possible way)
It may not match upto my 3200 (64) desktop system for power gaming at 1600 x 1200 x 32 x 75hz, but it certainly keeps pace.

Correct you may be able to play tribes vengeance but that doesnt exactly stress the computer since it only needs a 32mb video to run and a 1gig processor.
'Work of warcraft' is not a game so I shall presume you meant 'world of warcraft' in which case would play very poorly on anything that doesnt have at least 512mb ram and a mid range graphics card at least.
The 9200 is nowhere near enough as I have one and trying to play most new games on anything above medium settings is a nightmare and I have 512mb ram with a 2.8ghz processor.
It seems that my idea of gaming and yours are completely different. No acer ferrari could play Half-life 2 or Doom 3 at anything above low settings and maybe 1024 x 768 if you are lucky.
So to me, if you cant play Doom 3 at medium settings with at least 1024 x 768 at at least 30fps ( which is the minimum it should run at to be playable )it isnt much of a gaming machine.
Now I would love to be proved wrong on this matter so please do so.
EDIT
As for playing BF2 on a ferrari 4000k, it wouldnt run very well. It would only be playable at low settings which is pretty pointless.
The ‘minimum’ requirements listed will not play games adequately, the ‘recommended’ requirements are what I’d consider to be an acceptable minimum, and I’d personally like to see at least 50% added to those ‘recommended’ requirements to consider a system to be ‘good’ for a particular game title!
As you can see a 4000k does not meet the reccommended specification so although it would run, in my books I wouldnt call that gaming.
