Well I understand your needs, I should caution you that all laptops that the website you referenced reviewed all had a dual core processor in them. This allowed them to get an average ~25FPS. Now I won't say with upgrading the memory in the emachines that it wouldn't handle the job but remember. The emachines is only a single core processor and that TF2 and a bit more power hungry than HL2: Lost Coast. Either way though I hope the laptop works out for you.
Good observation, I didn't notice that before. I had a chance to play with an Acer laptop with the exact same specs and I think that it'll do fine by me. As the Best Buy $200 HP still uses an Intel integrated I think I'm still going to jump on the emachines. I'm sure that I'll be able to get TF2 to run on it smoothly, although I'm not expecting amazing graphics from the thing. Low settings are fine by me so long as the thing runs!

I'm thinking of going with the 200 dollar E-Machine laptop because it has a decent integrated card on it. According to Notebookcheck's website, the HD 3200 is able to run Half Life 2 on high settings ~ 25 FPS. I think that all the thing needs to be a pretty serviceable laptop is an extra 2 gigs of RAM, some time spent to get rid of the bloatware, and some TLC. Anyone agree with me on this or am I just blowing smoke?
I really just want a system to run Team Fortress 2 after my last two systems fell apart...
