    I havent seen any...I am in the market for a 13" thin and light and the options are 128mb 7400go so far.

    Will the 128 mb 7400 go run games well for that size of laptop? Or is there a brand that carries the 7600 go?

    Thanks!

    The smallest notebooks with the 7600 are 15.4 inch ones. The 7400 isnt too bad now, I can top out HL2 and almost top out BF2 with it on my system. If you want a 7600 you'll need to get a larger notebook.

    No. The 7600 appears in both the Compal HGL-30 and the Asus A8jm/A8js. They're both 14.1" laptops. You won't get anything in the 13" category with a 7600, but the 14.1" ones are still quite small. In fact, it's what I'm getting ;)

    That being said, the 7400 isn't a bad card. Ask sheff159 how it runs games, but I understand that it's not too bad at all. You just won't get full AA and AF at 1280x800 resolutions with full details on newer games. It'll scream on games 2-3 years old.

    Yeah.. depends on what kinds of games you wanna play... if it's newer games, the Go7400 might struggle a bit, prob would be ok with low res or something.

    Other than that, as has been mentioned... the ASUS A8Jm (Go7600), or yet to be released A8Js (Go7700) and Compal HGL 30 (Go7600) are your best bets at 14".

    I agree with Pitabred. Definitely check out the Compal HGL30, ASUS A8Jm and W3J.

    If the ASUS A8Js ever makes it here, it should be nice.

    I have this Asus F3Jm with Geforce 7600 512 VRAM dedicated. It's thin and light although it has a 15,4 LCD.
