I had a laptop with a 8600M GT with a fairly bad dual core and it could handle GTA-SA on medium quite well. As for the more modern games it should also handle them well also with low/medium settings regardless.
If you ever purchasing a laptop before ATI released the 5XXX cards for notebooks then you would be on a very strict choice of laptops in a budget. The HD 5650 gives the user a lot more performance at the cheap.
The next graphics card up will cost you a lot more and I'm not sure in your budget but I will suggest the Toshiba Satellite Pro L670-14P which has the HD 5650 but a i5 instead of a i3.
Alternatively you could get the Acer Aspire 5740G which is similar to the Sony but cheaper.
Thanks for your reply,
The Acer Aspire has a worse GFX card, but better CPU, people told me the CPU won't make that much of a difference, the GPU will though.
@ Toshiba: I can only find the L5XX series, which is +€800.

They combine a great performance (for gaming) and a running time of up to 8 hours.
Usually most notebooks have a running time of like 2,5h. The Acer TimelineX models have a running duration of like 8h in idle, 2-3h while gaming (without being connected to power).
So it works both as a good "gaming" laptop and a mobile notebook that can be taken to school etc and will last more than only 2 hours.
@ Your previous links: checking now
.Well, I don't really care about the running time lol, I barely use it without cable
EDIT: Wow @ that benchmark list:
------ Low - Med - High
BC2: 55 35 24
MW2: 94 40 35
GTA IV: 48 43 25
MW1: 204 76 37
