    Yea... The Inspiron E1705 a great game machine when you add... a 7200RPM HD, Go 7800, and a WUXGA screen. Then make it hid 2k then use the 650 of $1999.... A killer machine for the price ;)

    gaming wise the WUXGA screen isnt as great for its native resolution if you come to think about it and if you play at lower resolutions it wont look as good on the wuxga. Thats my opinion never really tried it to see facts.
