    I am going to buy a new laptop and i need advice because I will probably be brining my notebook with me to school, and i was wondering what screen size would be preferible to transport a lot and still have fun with gaming images.

    Please I am open to any suggestions

    There are many threads on this already, but I would go with the 15 inch.

    14" I would say is the best compromise, but I would personally take 13.3".

    Actually I do love my 14" notebook, but he mentioned gaming so I figured the 15" might be better for that. But then again, I'm no gamer either. ;)

    Depends on the kind of gaming. For the most part 15.4" or 17" is best for all out gaming but there are 14 and 13.3" machines with enough power for somepretty reasonable gaming.

    14" is the perfect compromise between power and mobility: light weight, small size, same power as 15,4".

    14.1 is the ideal half way house.
