NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 is a faster clocked Geforce Go 7300, which is a slightly enhanced GeForce Go 6200. The performance is a bit below average. Some current not demanding games can be played fluently with low details. For other games massive restrictions with the game settings must be tolerated. The performance is sufficient for office applications and surfing.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks.  15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays.
The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much current and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
