Looking For A Good Laptop :)

[OverKooled]

Hi, I am currently looking for a laptop to buy. My budget is $1000 and below excluding tax. I am currently looking at this
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/ho/WF25a/321957-321957-3329744-64354-64354-4041735.html
and deciding between the $899 or $999 models. I'd like to know if which one would perform better for primarily gaming, watching HD videos.

Other than those 2 models, I'd like to know if there are any other laptops, I'd prefer HP/Acer/Sony that are great for watching videos, and gaming for a price of $1000 or under.

Thank you in advance!

I believe ASUS N61JQ-X1 is the best gaming laptop for the price.

Neither of those HP you mentioned is for gaming

With the 3 brand you mention. You should consider this
Acer Aspire AS5740G-6395 Intel Core i5 520M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 320GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 NoteBook $800

It should outperform all those HP
