fz31z best gaming laptop?

[martynrb]

I have an SZ5VWN which is great, portable, but not much cop when it comes to gaming.
I'm considering swapping it for a FZ31Z, which seems to be a little bigger but much better specced for games and movies.
I need portability with fast processor and good dedicated graphic memory.
Are there any other Vaios fitting the bill I've missed?
Your opinions are welcome, if anyone has the FZ31Z I'd love to hear what you think.
Thanks, Martyn.

No comments from FZ31Z owners?
At least let me know what the Vista Experience rating is.
Or really..........did noone actually buy this laptop?

I'm afraid I haven't had a go of those models, but I can say the AR31S performs well so far with gaming. (Although portability may be an issue)

I know the forum will be sick of hearing this from me but It has handled Bioshock, Kane and Lynch, COD 4 etc nearly perfectly.

As you probably know there aren't many laptops that are designed to handle the latest games except dedicated ones like Alienware (although I haven't tried them either)

Many thanks jumpsuit.
I'd considered an AR61Z, but I travel a lot and don't fancy lugging that beast around, so next in line was the FZ31.
