Hi. I'm looking for laptop for my daughter to play Sims3 Pets on. We've had problems in the past with our desktop not being able to run the game correctly so I don't want to buy something new and have the same issue. I know ideally I should get a gaming laptop for her but I'm poor :p and can only afford about $600. Can someone please tell me if this looks like a good laptop for gaming?

Also I prefer to buy something thru Bestbuy or Walmart, etc. that I can return easilly if needed but this is only available online at Newegg, any thoughts?

Thanks so so much for your help, this is out of my league and I don't really know who else to ask.
