    The Qosmio F40W

    The 15.4-inch multimedia-centric machine sports a 1,280 x 800 resolution, Intel's Core 2 Duo T7300 (2GHz) CPU, up to 4GB of RAM, 120GB of hard drive space, a dual-layer LabelFlash-enabled DVD writer, built-in terrestrial digital TV tuner, and NVIDIA's new 128MB GeForce 8400M GS to handle the DirectX 10 action.

    In Japan for ¥259,800 ($2,136).

    Would this graphics card make all but the extreme gamers happy?

    This card will make an extreme gamer very sad. It is a low end card and slower then the x1600 or go7600. If you want to game at minimum get a 8600M GS. If you want to game nicely get a 8600M GT or a 17" laptop with a go7900/go7950gtx
