problem i have with laptops is the fact that if you do play games on them even the best batteries only last a matter of 4-5hrs ... then you have to find a wall socket.
my HP lasts a nice 11hrs generally, but even that is pretty poor cause you can really loose track of when you last charged the batteries and such, and then there's the battery cost for the wireless adapter ... the more intensive programs that use your laptop the less time you actually get on them.
i'd hate to think how much time my battery would give on the 17" version.
that said still a killer for gaming
AthlonMP 2400+
512mb ddr2 ram shared
GeForceFX Go! 64mb ddr2 exclusive ram
Sound Blaster Audigy with 4 Positional Speakers
80gb ata/133 hdd
dvd + cdrw drive
15" tft-dvi screen
you can unhook the screen and use it as a static monitor if you want, which is kinda weird but cool.
think the best feature of it is the fact that its upto 180g shockproof ... which means if i accidentially drop it down the stairs (which lets face it, who hasn't done this atleast once with a laptop/cellphone/etc...) you can pick it back up and it usually is just fine, no data damage - do that to a normal system and your looking at a nice corrupt hdd.
