This system's case is more demure than most gaming rigs, but it offers serious power for serious gamers. Even though the 12-inch display's resolution (on the base model) is limited to 1680 x 1050, images still pop off the screen, and the 2.1 sound system emulates 7.1 for a meaty and convincing presentation. Vista performance is boosted by the 1GB of Intel Turbo Memory, and at about 8.4 pounds, the Artorious Pro system can go anywhere. It's perfectly suited for Call of Duty 4 and maxing out settings on older titles like F.E.A.R. www.vigorgaming.com
