    with the small business coupons that came out today I got one for 30% off a system, was checking out what I could get with it and just noticed they also knocked quite a bit off upgrading to a 7300 video card, its only 50 bucks over integrated, is the x1400 on a high enough level above to pay another 50 on top of that?

    I would say the X1400 is worth the extra $50.

    Well it depends on what you want to do with the notebook. If you plan on trying out a few games sometime then definitely go for the X1400 as it is a better card. If you do not lan on gaming and only want something to run areo a little better then the Go7300 is the better option.

    Also if you want to give Linux a try get the Go7300. Nvidia in general has far better support for Linux (just an interesting side note)

    Get the X1400 if you are into gaming, but if not, then go with the Go7300
