Question:
(ultra)portable for gaming
What is the best way to find small(er) laptops with good video cards?
It's easy to find 17" and even 15.4" with gaming video cards, but a search engine would be useful that lets you seach for video card specifics.
For example, what is the fastest video card in a 14" laptop? What is the fastest in a 13" laptop? The answer to the second question I think is the 7400 in the Sony SZ series.
Anyone have other laptops that fit, or a way to search for them?

I hear you can run Doom 3, HL2, WoW, Oblivion, Prey - with decent specs - so I don't know how it doesn't fall into the gaming catergory.
Also, one has to remember that the ultraportable "gaming" niche market is new. Its a new thing to be able to play games on 12"-13" notebooks, since decent graphics came late to ultraportables.
