Buying a gaming laptop need some help.

[leaube]

Ok so im looking to buy a gaming laptop and ive found a few that i like a lot but i have some questions,

The laptop im looking to get has an i7-2670QM 2.2GHz (turbo boost 3.1GHz) a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630m 1GB over clocked to 2GB and 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM 1337MHz.

Ok so the first question i want to know is what games can i run on max setting(excluding shadows),
ive see BF3,Assassins Creed Revelations,Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim played on max settings with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540m with no lag and 30+fps and i can only assume that the 630m is better since its a later model which should make it better? But on Game Debate it says that it wont run these games on highest settings on either 630m and the 540m so im kind of confused since ive seen it with my own eyes that it can run these games maxed out?

Second question and last, on the laptop description it says the screen is 15.6" and underneath that it says the aspect ratio is 16:9 so does that mean the screen is 16.9" or 15.6"?

Hears the link to the laptop i want to buy : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-575 ... 162&sr=8-1

and here : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006 ... =computers

also here but with a different processor : http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspi ... 5-pdt.html

Thanks

Neither graphics card is particularly powerful, and will not be able to run most (if not all) modern games at high, some may even struggle on medium.

The aspect ratio is the ratio of number of pixels in the width vs the number of pixels in the height. 1366x768 is a 16x9 aspect ratio, and 1280x768 is a 16x10 aspect ratio, it has nothing to do with the size of your screen.

I cannot give comment on the laptops contained in those links, as the first 2 gave 404 errors (no page exists), and the final one just takes me to the index.

sorry about that here are the proper links,
first : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-575 ... 162&sr=8-1

second : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006 ... =computers

last : http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspi ... 5-pdt.html

but like i said i have seen these graphic cards play the games on youtube at max settings so explain that?

The first laptop seems to be the best choice, as I believe the processor is the most powerful of the two, and it comes with a Blu-ray drive, instead of a DVD drive. (Blu-ray is compatible with DVD)

Looks like I've underestimated nVidia's 600 series again. The cards are more powerful then I expected them to be, but still aren't very powerful. There also seems to be more than one version of the card, one with 96 shader cores (Renamed gt 540m), one with 144 shaders (Renamed gt 555m) and one with a new kepler core, which I do not know the equivalent to. I am not aware of which version you will get, so I cannot be certain of the performance of your computer. You may get a laptop with the more powerful version, or not.

I'd go for 650m/660m + i7 IvyBridge
