I am thinking of buying a m1730 laptop for gaming ,but not having owned a laptop before i wonder if someone could answer a few simple questions.
When people say iam playing Crysis at a lower res than 1920 x 1200 do they mean lowering the res of the laptop or lowering the res in the game itself and does it still look ok in non native res
.Also can you lower the laptop res when surfing the web so the text looks bigger without it looking fuzzy

When you lower the res in game, it actually does lower the res of the laptop for you. Which is why sometimes when you exit out of a game, you can see GIANT desktop icons before they return back to normal.

A Lower Res than 1920x1200 is very much doable and supported by XP and Vista. There will be a range of choices for you to choose from.

Thanks Steve for the info reguarding res of the M1730.Just one more point ,when the res is lower than the native res of 1920x1200 is it full screen or does it have borders around the edges.

I was just going to say on this - it looks fine to me on my computer (see sig).

It is probably not going to look as good as it would in native res, and many gamers are pretty adamant about being able to run games in the native res of their monitor. I personally don't notice it once I'm playing the game (FEAR, Bioshock, HL2:EP1, WoW, Oblivion, etc.)

Unless you're very picky, I wouldn't shy away from WUXGA due to gaming resolution concerns.

One more thing, depending on how you configure your 1730 you can eaasily play it at 1920x1200. Depends on the settings you want and what framerate you want. If you get high end options and overclock it is definetly playable on high (if you don't require 60 FPS). Otherwise like the others said you can lower the game resolution a bit and get whatever FPS that you want.
