New laptop

I just ordered my new laptop and I wanted to know if it will be ok for some light gaming, photoshop and multimedia playing(blu-ray rips and stuff like that):

Is this video card having a HDMI connection??

Same as one i have just ordered. But 555m and putting corsair f3 ssd in. Hoping it will do more than just light gaming. May have to disable aa in a few games over the next few years. But still...good spec.

Thyuro you should find everything runs possible 5 FPS slower as you have the 540m with only 1GB of graphics memory.

Njmarkham you should find the results I have gathered to be very close to what you will get from your machine!

I'm sure Counter-Strike and CombatArms will run just fine on the specs I've got. Wanted to know how the BluRays will be played on this laptop, hope they will play smoothly.

while I didnt get the bluRay drive I know that full HD video plays beautifully so im sure it will be fine
