The better notebook for Vista/Gaming? 1505 or M1210?

Hello. I am currently looking for a new laptop, and have decided to go with one of these. I have a few questions though. Which one will perform better with Vista? Also, which has the more powerful video card option, and how do these perform for gaming? I dont do a whole lot of gaming, mostly WoW and CS:S. Also, if i went with the M1210, the lower res and smaller screen kind of worry me. With my current lappy, its a 15.4 inch with 1680x1050 resolution. With this, I can have a Word doc and an browser window open at the same time, both taking half the screen. Is this possible with the M1210, or does the smaller screen/resolution make this not work? Thanks for the help.

*edit*
Also, if i go with the 1505, which video card is better?

256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory
or
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7300 GS

Hi. Both laptops are easily capable of running all the Vista eye candy as well as both of the games you mentioned, so don't worry about that. The resolution on the m1210 is also fine for two side-by-side windows to be running.... the lower res compensates the smaller screen ('cos text, etc is larger at lower res) but the trade off is less will be shown in each of the windows.

If you choose the 1505 the x1400 is the more powerful choice.

1505 all the way man. I don't have vista (but plan to get it), but I do run a lot of games and it works fine for me. I have a Geforce Go 7300 video card.
