After weeks of searching, I have finally decided to buy the Dell Inspiron 15R for my purpose of a gaming laptop within 42k. Its specs are:-
3rd gen core i5-3210M@2.5 GHz with turbo boost upto 3.1GHz
4GB RAM 1 DIMM (4GB x1) DDR3@1600Mhz
AMD Radeon HD 7670M DDR3 1GB
15.6" HD WLED True-Life (1366x768) display
500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

The specs look good however, I am still unsure as to its performance in my primary task-gaming. I would like an opinion on its performance in the following games i.e. on what settings will they be playable without lag?
1)FIFA 12
2)Max Payne 3
3)NBA 2K12
4)Call of Duty:Black Ops
5)Crysis 2
6)Dirt 3
7)NFS:Most Wanted(2012)
8)Shift 2:Unleashed
9)F1 2011
10)Battlefield 3

Also how many years can I expect it to play the latest titles (especially the latest FIFA title) on atleast low-medium settings?

P.S-I would appreciate an informed opinion over an 'educated guess'.

Thanks in advance.

I've tagged few games that i know

1)FIFA 12 - High
2)Max Payne 3 - Low
3)NBA 2K12
4)Call of Duty:Black Ops - High
5)Crysis 2 - Low
6)Dirt 3 - Mid
7)NFS:Most Wanted(2012)
8)Shift 2:Unleashed
9)F1 2011 - Mid
10)Battlefield 3 - Low

EA hasn't informed me about the requirements of future FIFA titles, but i guess Radeon 7670m could handle at least 3 future FIFA installments. just a guess.

That's a good machine for the price.

I understand that future requirements are not known and are speculations. I would happily take any further guesses on this part.
And the rest of the titles anyone please?
