    The dv-6 is a nice laptop but probably only good for basic gaming, the dell with the 4570 would be much better suited.

    The thing is if she likes it and isn't too fussed about gaming it should be fine.
    FYI I can actually get away with playing crysis:warhead on a laptop with slighty worse specs than that (TX2500) with the gfx turned down a lot.

    Proper gaming laptops are silly expensive, but most games dont really need silly high end stuff either as all are developed (to be playable) with the mid range pc in mind.
