Customer Review: Disappointed with the video card

I recently purchased a similar (but slightly different model) HP Pavilion laptop which performs great for games, and I wanted another one for multiplayer gaming. Unfortunately I couldn't get that model, so I purchased this one instead.
It turns out that the video card in this particular model sucks. Windows Vista reports gaming performance 2.5, as compared to more than 4 in the other machine. Consequentially, gaming graphics aren't nearly as nice on this machine as the one I purchased earlier.
The laptop works fine otherwise, but the graphics really suck for playing games. To avoid such unpleasant surprises, it would be very nice if Amazon included Windows Vista performance metrics in laptop descriptions in the future.
