    All-

    I've already posited the question of whether or not the Go 7400 will perform well with NWN, but I'd like to ask users in this forum if they would recommend the W7J for gaming, specifically for NWN2. As that is my primary consideration for getting a new notebook, I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice you'all could give!

    Thanks in advice,
    -Alex

    you shouldnt have anything to worry about if you are going to be playing NWN, that game is way old so the w7j would destroy it.

    NWN2 may be a different story, but i would say that any new games in the next few years should run alright on med-low setting. if you're worried about futureproofing for gaming i would go with the w3j for sure.

    Do you know if there are other 13 inch alternatives that offer future-proofing equal to the w3j?

    NWN should be fine, nothing spectacular, but not slow in the least bit.

    NWN2 as ghost said, will be much more advanced, and probably it will be sluggish at best.

    At the moment, no 13.3 has a powerful graphics card like the x1600. In time my friend. The 7400 itself for such a small machine is quite an advancement.
