As an ultra-portable, the only thing that came close was the Dell XPS M1330, but that model only has a 128MB 8400M GS.

What do you think?

From what I can tell, the P300 is only available in Asia, Europe, and Canada.

In Canada: Future Shop: Computers: Laptops: LG Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1GHz Laptop (P300) - Future Shop Exclusive

I know the page says $1599.99 but they actually have it priced at $1399.97 in the store (I was there today).

In terms of graphics performance on an ultra-portable, is there anything that comes close to the P300? This is the first time I see mid-class graphics on anything 13.3". I don't even think that there are too many 14" units that can match it...

It would game pretty well i think, mostly medium settings of course. I was llooking at that laptop but it was a little above my budget. I purchased the M1330 w/o the 8400 since i read that the 8 series portable cards are over heating and breaking. I opted to keep the integrated, and even in WC3 menu my mouse is lagging around, i havent tried playing a game. And WC3 is the least demanding game ever so, i guess deff no gaming on this thing.

At that res, you'd can definitely play games well on it. Good choice.

Same here. I went with the m1330 w/ Intel graphics due to all the recent bad rep NVIDIA's been getting. I also wanted a 9-cell battery.

Though that LG one looks rather nice spec wise. Should be able to handle some light gaming.
