Hello and welcome to the forums
$800 is kinda low for a gaming laptop.This Toshiba satellite model is a decent choice

But don't expect to max out every game with it;however,it should handle SC2 fine on high settings(on a low resolution)

Hi :)

I agree with the poster above.... there is no way $800 will do for a GAMING lappy...

Think more $2000 plus...and it still wont be as good as a tower gaming pc... especially for FPS..

All the best Brett :)
