    I bought the G50VT-X1 and after a month of having it i am considering to sell it to purchase the N80Vn-X5 from newegg. The only reason that i bought the G50VT-X1 is because of the Nvidia 9800GS, but i do not play any games right now, i bought it in anticipation of Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. I feel just that the graphics are a bit much and the size is very big for a 15". Everything but the Nvidia 9650GT is superior in the N80Vn-X5 Mainly the LCD screen, the P8600 2.4 GHz CPU, and the 2 Year + 1 year accidental Warrenty. But as i said before i would like to run Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 without any problems. What are your thoughts on what i should do?

    Nvidia 9650GT should be fine for both games.

    Good luck!

    Given that the required specs for those games are not out yet, it's hard to speculate how demanding these games are. However, the N80 with the 9650 GPU should do fine, especially if you're not a picky gamer (ie running games on high res and details)
