    Anyone here use their W3J heavily for playing games or watching movies on their down time, if so does the smaller screen bother you?

    I just ordered one and I'm stoked, just wondering for Ha-Ha's

    no it doesn't..its actually plenty big enough..but if you really don't need to move around much a 15.4 may suit you better...haha just kidding..i have a w3j as well..just use an external when you're at home if its too small for you

    Im telling you - the 14 in offers the best in size vs portability. It's not too small at all. Enjoy the W3J - you'll love it and won't have any regrets.

    I don't game on it heavily, but I do game on it occasionally. Its great for gaming and the screen size doesnt bother me. The only thing that got to me was that I wasn't used to its wide screen resolution. Some games can come out kinda skewed or stretched if you dont adjust. Not a big issue.

    I game on it heavily and before I got my 21" LCD to complement the W3J, I played on the screen and it really wasn't bad.. only thing is that resolutions have to be set low but its nothing too disheartning
