Late Windows XP era gaming (DirectX 10 for ATI chipsets, DirectX 9 for Intel chipset) or as a very good office computer. High resolution display models are a good choice particularly for more modern games or operating systems such as Windows 7 and Vista that make good use of it. Even if the Intel videocard is not powerful enough for 3D accelerated games in native resolution, performance is decent. All screens are of the TFT type so contrast and response time is very good even if colour reproduction is not that great.

As always, Intel graphics models are cooler running than ATI ones but noticeably slower in 3D games.  While LED backlight screens are longer lived, CCFL backlight ones render colours much better, particularly the blues and reds, so they are recommended, if available and with low or no wear on the lamps. Due to lacking performance of Intel graphics chipsets, the 15 inch models that have higher that 1680x1050 resolution screens are not recommended and, even so, their performance would have been better on lower resolutions.
