    Greetings!
    So obviously this notebook is still in pre-order stage right now...
    But here's my question...I'm planning to just get the F8SV-A1 version (the 2.2GHz CPU and 1280x800 resolution screen).
    With the 8600M GT that's in that notebook, at that lower resolution that a lot of other notebooks, would the performance still be pretty noteworthy? In terms of games, I'm mainly looking to run something like Oblivion and maybe medium settings of Bioshock, plus a few other games here and there...
    I'm not looking for something to pwn Crysis or anything (that'll be the upgrades for the desktop coming in ;) ), but I want something that I'll be able to do my normal work on but also be able to do some good gaming with it...

    Cheers all! :)

    On WXGA resolution, a 8600GT will play easily Med/High, it shouldn't be a problem at all, even with Crysis.
