    its an 9800m GS, about the 9700m GTS level. whats wrong with 1366x768? thats a good res for a weaker GPU to handle native res gaming for quite some time.

    it seems like u would spend more money on the asus and get lower specs. Pointless if you ask me.

    For me, resolution is very important and so I would never go for anything like that unless it's on sale for like $500 bucks or something :D

    Yeah same here. After using 1920x1200 it's going to be hard to move back down. I'm actually looking to sell my nice 22" dell 1680x1050 because of this.
