I have been looking for a notebook and i think i am gona go for the HP HDX 16t.
The specs are:
Operating system Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
Display 16.0" diagonal High Definition HP Ultra BrightView Infinity Display (1920x1080p)
Memory 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Graphics card 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Hard drive 320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
Networking Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card with Bluetooth
DVD/CD drive Lightscribe Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer
Primary battery One 6 Cell and One 12 Cell Lithium Ion Batteries

I wanted to get Intels Core 2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53 GHz) 1066 MHz 6 MB
But the shop cant get that processor only the T8400 (2.26 GHz) 1066 MHz 3 MB

I want this system to be able to play some games, CS:S mostly.
The eye candy dosent have to be maxed out but it should be able to run the game at medium settings right?

You'll be fine for CS:S, and all source games really. Don't expect crysis to do well though.

Yeah I run Left 4 Dead on a 14.1" Dell, with a T8100 and Geforce 8400m GS at native resolution and at medium-low settings and I average 40-50 fps, sometimes dropping down to 15 fps when there's a lot of zombies on fire.
