    you won't find a 13" notebook with a "great" video card. you'll have to step up to at least 14" if you want a decent gaming rig.

    Best 13.3" laptop I can think of is the Sony SZ with a go7400, it should soon be upgraded to a 8400M ?GS?

    I agree, but I do not like 13.3" laptops. They are too big to be ultra portable and lack features of a 14.1" laptop.

    Theres the Samsung R70? Well they do one with the 8400G.

    Sony SZ has already been mentioned.

    Theres the go7400 in the Dellxpsm1210 if you were thinking you cant get a dedicated GPU in a 12" chassis.

    Asus W7 with the go7400 is 13" as well.

    Dell XPS M1210 update is coming at the end of June with Nvidia 8400M and LED screens, just like the SZ.

    The Dell XPS 1330 is also coming out soon with the 8400 I believe.

    The M1210 isnt' much smaller than a 13.3" and has a huge border around the LCD screen.
