In an ideal world, you bet! but unfortunately Acer have decided my laptop (with its dedicated graphics card and high (at the time) end 64-bit processor) is not meant for intensive/gaming use! It overheats... and has protective measures against the overheating (ie. downclocking the processor and turning all fans to full blast). Which would be fine if you were just web browsing etc. but if your in the middle of a game online and suddenly ur PC starts working at half the speed... its more of a problem
