I personally own an ASUS M50Sv-A1 and I have been very pleased with it. Mine has a 9500M GS and it can run Flight Simluator on all high/very high settings with about 25FPS. That graphics card in that laptop should be able to run at about the same performance as a 9600M so you should be fine. He’ll be very happy with that laptop. And it looks pretty slick too.
