Hey folks-

I'm looking at purchasing this for a family member for Christmas.  Does anyone have any serious faults with it?

The individual is a gamer, but he doesn't need something ultra-powerful.  Any other suggestions or deals would be appreciated if you can come up with something better.

I haven`t owned one but they are supposed to be a reliable brand, and you said he doesn`t want this for much power, but even if he does light gaming it would be good to get a dedicated video card.

What kind of graphics power could he expect out of the imbedded graphics processor?  In a laptop, could he buy a plug-and-play video card to boost it?

He'd probably be playing games up to fairly recently - not anything on the level of Crysis or Oblivion, but maybe Command and Conquer Red Alert 3.  I know he'll also want to play Diablo 3, but that's far enough down the line that he could probably afford a decent home rig for that.
