    In the card slot it comes with a remote control but yours does not have. Maybe contact hp and ask your r.m. And the 12 cell battery is not good which is lost 50% capability after 2 months. I am encoding tons videos with this and it is quite a desktop replacer with most counts.

    I’m not sure – I wasn’t able to find the specs for it, so I’d assume VGA.

    I’m sorry, but I’m not enough of a FPS gamer to answer that question. It really depends on what resolution you set the game at, what quality settings you use, etc.

    Well first off, …
    Well first off, don’t buy this HP laptop – it’s old technology and will very likely be replaced soon enough. You want something based on Centrino 2 or AMD’s Puma platform – both are new technology for laptops. I doubt you could find a Macbook that measures up to the ATI graphics in a Puma-based laptop, but there are so many variations out there, it’s pretty much impossible to answer your question – and the Mac is a completely different OS, so that factors in as well.
