Any one recomend a laptop capable of running STWII that I dont have to re- mortgage my house for? Will £850 be enough or am I just dreaming?

£850 will be fine.

I just got my Inspiron 15R with i5 460M, 6GB RAM, 640 GB HD, and ATI Radeon HD 550v 1GB (total $852 USD on sale at Newegg). Dell site has sale price at $889. At first, I just want a machine that can run STW and MTW (my destop desk GF8600 card). Won't be suprise if it now becomes my main gaming machine. If it will run STW2 even at mid setting, it will be the best impulsive buy. Just play some STW with HDMI output to an 42" LCD, it looks very nice. I got black rain, but hopefully that will go away after I install MI.

I would be interested to take STW2 for a spin on one of the new AMD Fusion laptops. This one, for example, can be seen playing L4D2 with no hiccups.

So I have a HP laptop with i5 M430 (2.27 GHz), 4 GB ram, and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5650.23697.0.html). Does that look basically decent? Performance in the demo was bad at anything above the 'low' setting (1366*768). Does that sound about right, or am I missing something?

demo is crap. there is a new patch for it, it use to run strickly on a single core, now it supports up to 2 :)
