[QUOTE="Tron, post: 29775"] Screen response time is important for gaming, especially FPS. I don't game too often, but I do play FPS when I do. It doesn't really matter since like I mentioned earlier in this thread all 17" widescreens on current laptops are the same model from the same manufacturer. (can't remember which one) All have a 25ms response time. I can accept 25ms, but I can't accept WXGA. I'm in no hurry to buy so I'll wait for WUGA, Centrino 2 and 4 GHz P4's. Who knows, maybe an AMD Socket 939 and a G5 PB will be available then as well. It would be nice to have lots of options. :) Also, I don't understand why people keep commenting on price. A 1.5 GHz 17" PB costs much more than the Sager and has far fewer features. Go to the Apple store and configure your ultimate system and see for yourself. The Sager is almost $500 US cheaper and has loads more features. [/QUOTE]
