I'm looking for the most portable laptop that can still run Civilization 5 acceptably, and I'd prefer to buy sooner than later.
It appears that Sandy Bridge's integrated GPU is enough for my needs. Given SNB's excellent battery life potential, I'm trying to find the smallest SNB laptop available within the next month. Sadly, so far the smallest available-soon Sandy Bridge notebook that I can find is 15.6" - not nearly small enough. Is there anything smaller on the near horizon? I'd like a Samsung 9 Series, but I can't wait that long.
If not, I'm thinking of picking up an Envy 14, which will have more than enough power for my needs without being excessively thick... but at the cost of battery life and weight.
