wow this is like perfect for me! I see that the cpu is 1.6GHz will it still run diablo, hon, and lol with no problem?


also are there any other laptops to consider? i want to see all my possible options thank you again!
 
Get one that has NVidia Optimus.
Optimus has two graphics cards. One efficient one and a second one for gaming. The gaming card shuts off COMPLETELY when not needed so the laptop isn't unbearably hot like other gaming laptops.

I STRONGLY suggest you get an Optimus laptop using a GTX600M series, even if you have to wait since it's fairly new.

The new 600 series uses 28nm die which runs much cooler which is a big deal for laptops.

*I don't think the new 600M series comes out until May (640M and 650M?).

Summary:
I recommend a laptop that has NVidia OPTIMUS technology and a 6xxM graphics chip.
