If at all possible, don't ever buy a laptop with the main intended use being gaming. Not ever. Desktop will always pwn it for less cash. Depends if you really need a gaming laptop though.

No. It's not a good spec

^^^^ the class leader in its day - but that day has long gone, unfortunately. You've got issues on a number aspects with this as a gaming platform. 128MB is absolutely rock bottom minimum these days and would struggle with anything modern.

On top of that, the memory of the laptop is small at 1GB and it will probably be slow speed. The final nail in the coffin will be the 5,400rpm (if you're lucky) speed of the hard drive. They are much slower than even the mundane desktop PC.

It will run games, no problem. But you'll be looking at ones of 4+ years of age before they play at any decent rate.
