The only sticking point I see is the processor, it's not really designed for gaming.
Without getting too technical, they make the U (Ultra-low-voltage or UVL) processors to save energy/electricity to help save battery life. But they do this at the expense of the processing power games need. So it makes for a not so good gaming experience.
I have found a couple laptops worth looking at:
