Games, of course, tend to be a different story given what graphics features they attempt to make use of.
    I'm sure most people eyeing a small notebook aren't really looking for a machine to play even remotely graphics intensive games. I'm sure minesweeper and freecell will handle fine

        How about a 13" widescreen macbook? It isn't even expensive.
        There's an Opera in my macbook.

            I thought about it seriously before it was released. There is report that the touch pad area turns orange after three weeks' usage. And there are still issues unsolved with Windows-compatability, even with the new version of BootCamp.
