Well, I push mine pretty hard. I play WoW probably 3-5 hours a day, give or take and if I'm not gaming, I'm multitasking quite a lot. So if you're playing more casually, you'll probably be better off. Regardless of what you do, I'd recommend buying a laptop cooling pad. They run 20-50 bucks, usually, and make a pretty big difference. Regardless of what you do, I'd follow las's advice on video cards. He's the local guru, so if he says the 8400 sucks, it probably sucks. You might call them and see if they can install a different card.
