Widescreen Laptops

[infiltrator7]

I'm looking into buying an HP laptop, and I see that it's widescreen. I know this is good for movies, but how about gaming. Will it cut off part of the game, or "smoosh" it together?

can anyone answer me?

Look at the asus W1.

www.asus.com

It will probally stretch the screen.

so widescreen laptops probably aren't great for gaming?

I have never had a HP but I have DELL (see sig). It works ok for games but I can't do high settings and I play games doom 3, half life 2, and far cry.
