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

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?

sorry dude, i wouldent go with that one, its got the integrated graphics and a slow HD, if your lookin to play games i would get a 7.2k rpm hard drive and a nice graphics card/chip.

take a look at the dell inspiron series.

edit:
omega, you beat me to it.

Looks pretty good.

I would take a look at the Dell Inspiron E1705.

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

meh, just go with the asus one you posted above if thats the most you can spend, your gettin a pretty bang for you buck with the asus one.

 

[lb562high]

yeah..ill think about it if no one else can suggest any other ones, but the screen size is kinda small........

if your looking for a 17 inch screen go with the dells, thats the best deals that your gonna find for that screen size.

You can save $172 by downgrading to a Core Duo 1.73Ghz. That would bring the total to around $1,237.
