4-Dec-2007 steve: hi, is this laptop any good for gaming because that is what i would mainly use it for ? Also can you have wireless internet on this laptop?

Easycom: This model will be capable of running sim sity societies, however for improved performance I would recommend looking for a laptop with a dedicated graphics card.
