I picked this up for my wife to play LOTRO and other games.
Just wondering, did I make a good choice?
I was hoping it can handle LOTRO and maybe EQ-2 and such.

I now the I5 is good for it, but I don't know much about laptop cards, and it has some sort of swapping program for the integrated card and the 6650M.

I honestly don't know much about laptops.

Thanks.

Looks good to me. Decent CPU and a dedicated GPU are all you need, and it has both. Just be sure to plug it in when you play games, as many laptops with the newer i5 type CPUs have settings that underclock them when not plugged in to save power.

Ok, thanks, I noticed it swaps from the built in card to the 6550 when its plugged in.
