First of all, let me apologize in advance if this is the wrong spot for this post...
Moving on! I'm going to be graduating in the next month, and I'm planning on buying a laptop within the next two or three weeks. After searching for hours and hours, I've narrowed it down to a few possible choices. Keep in mind, I'm not a computer hardware expert, which is why I'm turning here. I'm planning on using it for school work when I begin attending college in the fall, as well as some moderate gaming. I'm looking for something that has the ability to run games like Fallout 3, COD: 4, Empire II: Total War, etc etc, (in other words, new. I'm not expecting it to run Crysis by any means though). My price range is approximately $800-$900. It's not much, but thats about the maximum I can spend.
Here's some of the choices I've narrowed it down to... I'm leaning towards the first or second currently due to the higher processor speeds, and I'm liking the 2nd choice for its ability to use all 4GB rather than just 3.

I'm looking for any feedback, but preferably anything that can tell me how they'll perform when running certain newer games so I have something to compare it to. I plan on playing everything from FPS's, to RPG's, to RTS's.
Any pro's or con's are welcome! Thanks!
