Small gaming laptop

[SoundTheSurrender]

Is there any decent gaming laptops out there that are under 15.4 inches? I don't need a super laptop but I'd like to have a small one that can play Oblivion and other games.

Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it under 800 - 900 dollars.

The Gateway at BB would be a decent option.

The one that everyone knows about is the 17" Gateway.

I haven't found anything UNDER 15.4" that had anything beyond NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS or ATI Radeon Mobility 3450, which are both low end. I have found ONE 15.4" notebook made by Alienware that has the option to go to as high as 8800M GTS, but it is super pricey ($2k+?). There is a Gateway at Best Buy that is 15.4" for around $750 that has a Radeon Mobility 3650, which is midrange.

Choose your poison.

Asus F8 - can be found with the HD3650 in it and it's only 14". There maybe a variety some nVidia 95xx or 96xx card in it. Check newegg.

It's just at 15.4", but you should be able to play oblivion on it just fine at high settings. As for later games, you'll have to turn down some settings.

But hey, it's cheap if you can get it at that price.

I ended up buying this for 524 dollars. I hope Gateways are good quality.

Are Gateway's decent? I'm afraid to open this up and use it. I still have to sell my Macbook on ebay before I even touch it.
