    get a desktop as it is cheaper & more upgradeable then a laptop.

    It can handle any game - it'll just vary upon which settings you can run which games at (something like Crysis will probably only run reasonably well at medium and below). I'd suggest you choose a better graphics card when you configure it - a HD4870 (if given the option) would be quite a lot better, and at least on the UK site, it's the same price as the GTX260 option and is therefore a really good deal.
