    Hi Everyone. I have a few questions regarding the X460 from Samsung. I am a frequent visitor of these boards, and appreciate everyone's help!

    1. I see that the Samsung has a GS9200. I know that this video card does not rank very high on the overall notebook spectrum, however I was wondering if it could play games such as Warhammer Online decently, given its lower screen resolution. I am interested to hear of everyone's experience with various games on this computer.

    2. The other 2 laptops I am looking at are the Asus FV6e, which is a 13.3 inch, but heavier (at 4.4 pounds) with a much better video card (ATI 4570). Also, the Sony Z/SR series with ATI 3450 or GS9300. Can anyone shed some light on these notebooks? The sony's are nice but mad expensive. The Asus is relatively cheap, and the Samsung is still cheaper.

    3. Can anyone that has an X460 post their vista scores? I am most interested in the graphics/3d gaming score.

    The laptop will be primarily used for light gaming (NO FPS, Simulators, hardcore graphically intensive games, just MMOs and the like). It also needs to be quite portable, which the Samsung is.

    I appreciate your help!! Thanks

    Vista scores are useless since they don't accurately reflect performance. If the games are light on the GPU, the the 9200M GS should be ok.
