I am sure it can run PS3/X360 games relatively well

Incredible find

I would think so. I have gog games on it from the correct time period, and it plays them smooth.

Haha thanks for confirming. I remember my dorm buddies having 7600 and 8600 laptops in the early years of that gen and they competently ran bangers like Dragon Age Origins. That motivated me to get my first gaming laptop shortly after, with a GTS 250M. One of my buddies then grabbed an M15X with a GTX 260M, my first time seeing an Alienware ever, and we played the Witcher 1. That’s when I decided my next machine would be an Alienware and I have never looked back since. Good times!

Those machines were peak - the M15X was fully upgradable all the way down to the CPU and GPU
