I had the XPS M1710 for all of 2 days but decided it was too big! I am joining the Royal Navy and need a smaller notebook but would still like to play games when I can.
If you can think of any other machines that is 14 / 15 inches that can handle games.. please let me know. I am also hoping to include the fingerprint reader.
Thanks =-).
**Please note, I am from the United Kingdom so American sites will not be that helpful to me.

Yes it would. However Nvidia Quadro cards were never designed to play games. Try the E1505 its a better notebook for gaming than the D820.

So this is a good enough video card for gaming?:
256MB ATI® MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 graphics card, PCI-Express x16
Do they make gamers notebooks with a built in fingerprint reader?
Answer:
Re: "Smaller" Notebook that can handle latest games
The x1600 on the W3j is as good as you will get on a 14" notebook. Fingerprint readers while a nice novelty, are overrated.

I see you are using a ThinkPad... what system would you recommend? I am willing to go up 15inches and it has to be widescreen.

Quite pricey though for only a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400?
