Well... If you told us what the laptop was, perhaps we could help out.
Most newer integrated graphics chipsets handle Source engine games pretty well. Dedicated ones handle them beautifully. My MacBook Pro has an 8600M GT (I'm not sure which desktop graphics card it is equivalent to), and it rocks. Hard. Asus have some kind of external graphics solution in the pipeline, but I haven't heard about it for a long time. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Any laptop with the 8600M is pretty fine. Both my Mac and a friend's Dell XPS have this card, and we can both run Bioshock at maximum settings with around 40fps average, and all source games are at a solid 50-ish framerate. Original Half-Life 2 runs at about 80fps.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
