    Hi!

    Im looking for a small laptop (13,3" or less) with the best graphics card in the moment (inst it the 8400gs for these type of computers?)

    is there any 12.1" laptop with the 8400gs?

    would you recommend the m1330 for playing old Brothers in Arms? and the upcoming one?

    thank you!

    I don't think the new Nvidia cards have been put in anythins smaller than 13.3" yet.

    Hard to say regarding the new BIA game as no mimum specs have been posted yet, but I'd imagine the XPS M1330 with geforce 8400M GS, 2GB ram and a Core 2 Duo should handle it ok.

    The ASUS F9s so far is the only 12" with the 8400GS.

    The LG C1 is another true ultraportable (10.6") that has dedicated graphics. But, it's the old Geforce 7 series, with non-Santa Rosa processors.

    I'd recommend the F9 if you're looking for dedicated graphics in a 12.1" laptop. Otherwise, try the Dell XPS M1330, which has a 8400M GS in a 13.3" frame.
