Ya the screen is the worst thing on it. It would be ok for hooking up to an external monitor but then it wouldn't be portable. What games do you plan on playing?

A 14'' screen might be a bit hard for gaming on.

I would take a look at the Dell Inspiron E1705.

You can get a 17" high res screen and a 7900GS for pretty cheap.
