I have a Gateway 30" HD monitor that has max resolution of 2560 x 1600. It's 1600i extreme whatever that is and has hd input. I was looking at laptops the other day and found asus brand new for $400, comes with 3GB ram, 2.4 GHZ cpu, ATI radeon 4250, hdmi output. Forgot the other specs. I googled it and the 4250 has max resolution of 2560 x 1600 which is what i need. Computer comes with windows 7.

My question is, will the laptop run really slow with the vid card working with such a large resolution? Not using laptop for gaming, but will use it for photoshop. Think it's worth paying more or will a basic laptop do the trick with this monitor?
