12" laptop high end?

[imported_Krypto]

I'm looking for a 12" laptop that has a pretty good video card, that can support no less then a gig of 333/400 ram. Hard drive and basically everything else doesn't really matter. Let me know what you got, doesn't matter what brand or anything. Thanks!

Are you looking to buy one or recomendations for one? If your looking to buy one, your in the wrong place check the FS/FT forum. Look for something like a Thinkpad x31 or a iBOOK. The x31 has a 16mb Radeon 7000 which plays CS and CS:Source pretty well. IBooks also have Radeons the amount of memory depends on what model you get.

Sorry, yes I'm looking for recomendations. Well, I'm selling my gaming laptop which has a 9600 pro 128mb video card in it, and I was hopeing for something that had a video card in it no less then 64mb (dedicated) and that was an ati card. I'll look into those ibooks, I had always thought that apple lappys were not good for gaming becuase you then had to run the windows module over the ibook OS.

not iBook, they only support PC2100 (DDR266) SDRAM. They're nice an cheap tho, and they also have Radeon 9200 w/32MB dedicated VRAM (better than the x31's). If you want to go Apple with the specs you want, get a 12" Powerbook, because they support PC2700 (DDR333) SDRAM. The also have a GeForce FX Go5200 w/ 64MB dedicated.
If you want to play games, you'll probably be better off with the IBM, although more games are coming out on OS X too.

Now on the Powerbook G4 in the link i clicked on the video accelerator and it says that if I needed more video then a 9700 pro 128mb was availible for the powerbooks, yet when I go through the motions of purchasing one it no where has an option for upgrading to that; unless I am blind. If cs:source and half-life would run on the powerbook i would be happy. I would love to have the sager laptop's with the video that has 256mb of memory, but I don't know how small they make them with that type of card.

Actaully, anything that is NOT widescreen is ok with me, i know that just blew up the ratio of laptops, but like my thinkpad which is a 13.3" I mean i love that, I have a 15.4" and I just cannot stand the widescreen view. I was looking at the 12" because they are small, but anything 15" and under that is not widescreen would be ok I guess, but I'm more for a 12, 13.3 or 14" in size.

EDIT: Ok, nvm on the whole 9700 128mb video card thing, I just realized that it only comes in the bigger models and the reason it didn't show that option in the 12" powerbooks is because they have a geforce card (doh, *smacks head)

Nothing like it.

Apples are great machines, but the only way you're going to play CS or HL on it would be to emulate it, which is quite slow unfortunately.....
