I don't own one, but the 7400 Go performs about on par with or a little below a MR X1400.

I'm wondering the same as well. I want to get it but don't know how much of a XPS/gaming laptop it will be with a 7400. They could of atleast put a 7600 in it.

into a 12.1 inch form factor? that's like asking for a x1600 in a 12.1 inch lappy. it's unpossible!

afaik the smallest "gaming" lappy you with that class of video card is the asus w3j @ 14.1 but it'll cost 1800.

Not really looking for small... the price point is what attracted me at least.. 1400..

I have a M1210 and I like it a lot. I've owned 3 laptops prior to this one and I've gone smaller in size each time. The M1210 is bulky for it's size but it's still small enough so it's not a hassle getting in and out of my bags. The 7400 Go can game better than I thought it would too. I've been playing Titan Quest successfully at medium settings and 2xAA. I have Oblivion loaded up too and it doesn't run too bad. I'm still tweaking it though. I almost went with the Asus W3J but I was able to get the M1210 with 2GB of ram and 2 batteries for about $1600. Didn't get in on the XPS coupon glitch but I'm pleased.

If you like small laptops, and are an occasional gamer, you will love it!
I just got mine for ~ 1500 US $ equivalent in India and am loving it.
GTA-SA/NFS-MW are what I am playing on it right now and both run perfect with 2XAA

You may also want to look at the Sony Vaio SZ series but I hear the build quality is a little flimsy (In comparison , the XPS feels much more tough)

I got the m1210 during the glitch with the GeForce. The only game i've played on it has been Heroes V and it runs great.

Oh, missed this bit out
If you are not too intersted in a small form factor, why don't you look at the Dell E1505
With the 30% off coupon, you can get it with a Radeon X1400 + Core Duo t2400 for ~$800-900
A lower specced M1210 will set you back by over 150% of that price
