    I don't know which one is better m140 xps or 700m. I need some opinions one which one is better and the pros and cons of each. Also which games am I able to play on these 2 computers? Also, when would be the best time to get these computers?

    Neither would be considered a gaming laptop. You should consider the FAQ in the hardware forum and post there. If you are looking for an inexpensive gaming machine I would suggest the Compaq v4000t with the x700 cards which is a fast card. Good Luck.

    Hi, the m140 and 700m both have the intel integraded GPU solution. They have quite "weak" GPU's and would not be good for gamming. They do fine when running older games, or games for younger kids, but not the newer ones like HL2. Like Zazonz said filling out the FAQ would help the people on this notebook forum to help pick a better one that will suit you rneeds.

    As for what games you can play, I believe you can find that info on intels site. It lists some of the more popular games, and if it can play it or not, and what framerates. This GPU can barly crank out Hl2. Extremely low framerates even at the lowest settings. But then again this GPU was never meant to game. ;)
