Desktop needs to be replaced..so laptop time!

Exactly. Dell's price/performance isn't as good as either of these. I've used their coupons and tried configuring something as good as what I can find in Asus and HP but I just can't beat them.

Even in the infancy of laptops, Asus and Hp always will be that good.

For your price you can get a very nice system. I would suggest not skimping much just because you'll get more years out of it that way. So for specs:
Processor: 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo or better
Hard Drive: 200gb or greater 5400rpm or more.
RAM: 4GB
Video Card: 512mb DDR3 Dedicated or 1024mb DDR2 dedicated (ex. ATI Radeon HD 3650)
Screen Size: I wouldn't go bigger than 15.4 Wide screen because of portability.


Now a system with the above specs would probably game fairly well (depending on which video card you get). However eventually its gaming capabilities will fade and you'll be glad you got that extra OOMPH in it.

Here's a couple laptops to look at:

All of the above come with a 2 year parts and Labor Warranty and 1 Year Accidental Damage Coverage.

My friend has the m50SA-x1 very nice looking and very snappy. Also it has login by face recognition which is kind of cool.

Thanks alot for all that info! Do you recommend me getting the m50SA-x1 out of those 3?

Also this Accidental Damage Coverage, is that like if I broke something on it during that one year they'll replace it no matter what?

Yeah, if I were you, I would get the m50sa-x1. Accident damage coverage means exactly that.
