That'll be plenty for Starcraft 2. I wouldn't expect to max out all the latest games, but it should handle just about anything well enough, for now.

While I was looking out for other opinions I actually stumbled upon a hardware review of the laptop which you can find here.

The components sound solid from my point of view to be honest especially since within a 1000 dollars budget ... aside from the battery since a 4-cell is a bit "meh" if you get my point, though I don't know whether there are better ones available out there. Then again, it's not like you're gonna play when you're not plugged in with a power socket anyways :P
