This notebook worth it? (Gaming)

Hi guys,

I've been looking to buy a gaming laptop, but I'm on a budget. I'm trying to keep things cheap while still getting a computer capable of gaming. Games I'm interested in playing are basically WoW, SC2, and in the future Diablo 3. I've been considering trying Age of Conan but that's not so much an issue.

Here is the best I could dig up:

I'm living in Canada so it would have to be a place that at least ships to Canada if anyone knows of a better deal.

Question is... Would this laptop run the games I like on Max Settings?

Is there anything I should be wary of? The semi-shared graphics made me uneasy... also I've never owned a computer with a CPU that was not Intel.

So basically I'm looking for some input. And maybe other suggestions.

Budget is about $1000 and I prefer 17" or greater screens but willing to sacrifice screen size for a big boost in performance.

Thanks in advance for any input given!

I'm not sure if you'll be able to play Starcraft 2 smoothly at MAX settings, but it will definitely be smoothly playable at medium to high settings. It looks like a good deal!
