    Should have ordered a e1705 for gaming. If you're looking for a gaming notebook in that form factor, should have ordered an asus s96j

    The S96j is a 15.4" noteobok. It's built very well too. If your not satisfied with your E1505 I'd return it and go for the S96j with the X1600.

    Also about the X1400 vs the Quadro 120M. The Quadro 120M is based off the Nvidia 7400, but has some extra memory. The Geforce 7400 = the X1400, power wise. Because the way Quadro cards drivers are, I would expect the X1400 to do slightly better in gaming.

    Yes, powernotebooks I find not only has the best deal on the S96j, but they also have great service and the S96j includes a 3 year warranty at no extra charge!
