    Well im might get a new laptop,but i have a question,could i connect a laptop to a 22/24 monitor,the laptop im thinking of getting is this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366651&type=product&id=1218092150636

    Ok say yes im able to do so,could i play games on a bigger resolution then the one that it says the laptop has,it says it has 1366 x 768,but if im not wrong i could play on a higher res in a monitor if my graphic supports it..?,if so could the gtx260m support at least 1600 x 1050 or something like that..?

    Thanks guys ;)

    Yes you can connect an external monitor via its HDMI port, I cant tell if that unit has a VGA port as well. and when connected to an external monitor the ideo card will output to that monitors default resolutions which will be hgher than the onboard panel. 1600 X 1050 should be easy on that laptop BTW
