New Laptop :D

I've finally bitten and bought myself a new laptop which arrived this morning.

It's an Acer 7738G

Processor: Intel® Core 2 Duo (T6600 - 2.2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB cache)
Screen: 17.3" (Acer CineCrystal, LED Backlit, 1600 x 900 Resolution)
RAM: 4GB (DDR3 1066MHZ)
Hard Drive: 320GB
Optical Drive: Blu-Ray (Blu-Ray HD Play back + DVD-RW & CD-RW)
Graphics: Dedicated (NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 240M with 1GB DDR Dedicated Memory)
Wireless LAN: Wireless (WIFI LINK A,B,G,N Includes MIMO)
Network Card: 10/100/1000 Gigabit Fast Ethernet
Integrated Webcam: Yes (Acer Crystal Eye Integrated 1.0Mp webcam)
Card Reader : 5-in-1 card reader (SD//MS/MS-Pro/MMC/xD-Picture card)
USB Ports: 4x USB 2.0 Ports
Bluetooth: Version 2.0
Speakers: Dolby Home Theater
VGA Port: 1 External VGA Port
Kensington Lock: Kensington lock slot
HDMI: 1 HDMI Connector
Finger Print Reader: Fingerprint Reader

All for the princely sum of £510 delivered which I thought was a bit of a bargain. The only problem is it came with Windows Vista 32 but I've already stuck 7 64 on and stuck ubuntu on my old laptop (it'll just be a web browser for the family).

It's been a while since I've had any kind of PC/laptop that can play games so I'm looking forward to seeing what this offers. What have I missed? Is Spore worth a play and I believe this can handle Crysis so I'll grab a demo Of this too? Any other PC only title I should take a look at as the last thing I played was Eve about 5 years ago.

Really quite excited
