Absolutely! I just made the switch myself and there is no way I could ever go back. Night and day IMHO.

In one word

YES!!!!!!

even if not everone of your games supports it, ull still get a kick out of it when doing normal office work
ie ability to view 2 windows side by side e.g. web page and word document, or a pdf ebook
