    Best value laptop at ~13inch

    12 seems too small, what cards do they offer for it? i have also been looking at the dv3510nr which looks very promising. any opinions.

    i thought he was saying something specific about the xps. The thing that worries me about the studio line is the heat (under the laptop around 100!). im thinking the m1330 might be better if its a refurb.

    what do you mean it has to work with 1280x800 on a 13" screen? does it mean every game has to play that resolution as long as i use the 13.3 screen?

    i do light gaming. FEAR online worked on lowest mostly fine. i hear 8400gs can be loud/hot which isnt a plus. are most nvidia cars like that? also the lenovo has the double vid cards... are they both built in the mobo?

    ok, the m1330 are looking risky, and i cant risk $500-600 one on ebay. 13 inch seems like a great size/weight with performance (currently useing a 14" e1405 which is still great). Im looking for the one with the most recommended vid card as well, supposedly Radeon HD 3450 is reliable and...

    20' CRT SNAPS

    20' CRT SNAPS
