Pentium-M & NVIDIA GeForce 4200 Go

[Machine]

Does anyone have of some manufacturers that combine the Pentium-M and NVIDIA's Geforce4 4200 Go? It seems like the best video I can get with a Pentium-M is an ATI Radeon 9000.

give it some time. too many companies are using integrated video which is really sad. dell doesn't, neither does gateway... unfortunately, hp/compaq does, as does fujitsu (s6000). hopefully more manufacturers will see that consumers want a small system thats still capable of occasional gaming.

The Latitude D800 has a Pentium-M and GeForce4 4200 Go. Be warned though, this series has sucky keyboards (there is a mod to fix it somewhat, but it involves taking out the keyboard and taping foam underneath the keyboard)

So, you want a machine with a expensive, low powered but medium performance processor designed for small laptops paired up with a expensive, powerguzzling video card designed for mammoth beomoths?

What I'm looking for is a machine that I can use for games when I'm on the road. I'd like to get as much battery life as I can without compromising gaming performance. Is that unreasonable?

Don't expect to get much out of a Pentium M. They aren't exactly designed for gaming performance. I'd say go with a regular Pentium 4 in a laptop if you want sheer power, but they do guzzle batteries. You can't really get a long-lasting battery computer that can really play games the way it sounds you want them to play.

Unfortunately, the GeForce 4200 Go video chipset is a power hog. It you want something with decent battery life, you would be better off with a Pentium M and ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 combination.
