Hi,

on a laptop 1680x1050 native resolution is it possible to play games
in 1280x1024? 1680x1050?

and what's about for a 1440x900 laptop native resolution?

i would like to buy one of those two laptops:
- 15.4" : 1680x1050 resolution
- 17": 1440x900 resolution

i don't know what of thoses two laptops i will buy because i wonder if the 15.4" laptop supports a better resolution for gaming like 1280x1024

here are the two laptops:
asus 15.4" AK092C - T7500 2.2Ghz - 8600M GT 256Mb
asus 17" 7R135C - T7500 2.2Ghz - 8600M GT 256Mb

both with 2Gb of DDR2 SDRAM memory and a 160Gb HD

thanks for your responses

All laptops should be able to scale down their screens to 1280 by XXX (whatever the number is, depending on aspect ratio), as long as they support higher than 1280 i n the first place. Both the laptops you mentioned will do it, but I'd stay away from a 17" with only 1440*900 resolution, the pixels will be getting kind of large...and it negates the whole purpose of having a 17" (for extra screen space and higher resolution)
