    hello, i saw this laptop on their website and was wondering what do you guys personally think about the graphics card in here {256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7600} how does this relate to the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7200 or relate to the ATI Xpress 200M or even the NVIDIA 7400..... BUT my biggest question is that is it better than the X1400 256mb, the one i have now. thanks

    The 7600 is way better than all the ones you have listed,though it will create more heat also. Check out Chaz's sticky on mobile graphics cards.

    If you look at the charts, the X1600 and 7600 can be found in 14.1" and over. Nothing less due to cooling needs. Any card better than these two can only be found in 17" and over due to cooling needs
