Here I have modified two laptops. I would like to keep the laptop as small as possible. By going with the 1330 which is 1' in screen size bigger I have a few advantages. The price different is close to $400.00 but I am able to get better video card and faster FSB. So the question really is FSB vs CPU speed vs screen size.
For what I have been able to figure out the 8400GS is the next upgrade from 7400. I will be programing, and playing two games COH and WOW (big surprise). I most likely will only play upgrades/updates to those two games on the laptop.
Note: I will have a docking station for the laptop which has a 21' LCD, Keyboard and mouse. Please do not flame about gamming on a small screen laptop. Also I will not be building a new desktop which for the price I will be paying for the laptop could be godly. Please keep these subjects out of the replies. Thanks!!
