| Fast, small laptop?
I need some help in finding the laptop I want.
Requirements:
screen size 13.3" or less
graphics card: nvidia 9600M GT or higher
cost: doesnt matter.
The German version of the LG P310 meets the specs, but can anyone recommend something I can get in N/A?

Dell,
If you want a better price than the website, just email or pm me the Print summary of the one you want and I can quote you a better price, IF so...

It'll be exceptionally difficult to find a laptop that's 13.3" or less, and has a dedicated graphics card. Expecially if you want one that's equivalent to the 9600M. The LG P310 is your best choice, although it does get relatively hot.

smaller laptops don't have dedicated graphics cards because
- smaller laptops don't keep cool easily, and dedicated graphics = heat
- gaming on anything less than a 15.4" screen sucks
- smaller laptops = smaller battery, and dedicated graphics = battery eater
I think LG is your only option if you're set on the 9600M GT or higher

And keep in mind that the heat could kill your laptop rather quickly because of the heat cycles.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

I recommend going with a 15" laptop if you plan on gaming with it.

u can get the new Asus G51 http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...nufacture=ASUS
that thing is a freaking beast, 15.6 though
but then again it offers 1080p resolution, so 15.6 inches seems more than reasonable

any netbook with the nvidia ion chipset is probably the best choice for the price
the ion is equipped with the 9400M i believe. ex: Lenovo S12 (only cost about$700) http://smartech.blogetery.com/2009/0...ook-under-500/
BUT if ion is really too weak for your liking (plus money don't matter for you..)
then just get the ASUS N80p, video card is better than the 9600m gt and it's 14inchs http://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=...19&modelmenu=2 | |

Ion? hehe he said fast. Ion is locked with a slow intel atom and the difference between 9400 and 9600 is a big jump.
