Which is the BEST BANG for my buck?

I've been looking into quite a few laptops and i found some that i'm really interested in.

I'm looking into spending no more than 750 dollars on a laptop and I want the most powerful computer i can get for that price. I really want a i5 core laptop, or even a quad core laptop. I dont really need hard drive space, 100gb is enough. size doesnt matter, nor does weight or heat. I really really really love SONY laptops because they look soooo good.

I'm mostly going to be surfing the web, youtube hd, rendering/editing HQ videos. Possibly light gaming such as worms armageddon/DOOM 3.

heres what i've found

Acer's

$771

SPECS - core i5 450m, 2.4ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb HDD,ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GB, DVD Burner

$699

SPECS - core i5 450m, 2.4ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb HDD, Intel HD, DVD Burner

$699

SPECS - core i5 450m, 2.4ghz w/ TURBO boost 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb HDD, Intel HD, Bluray Player

SONY

$599

SPECS - core AMD Athlon II Dual-Core P320, 2.1ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250, DVD Burner

How decent is the sonys dual core?

TOSHIBA

$699

SPECS - AMD Phenom II Quad-Core P920, 1.6ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250, DVD Burner



I am really looking into the 3rd ACER with the bluray player and the toshiba quad core, I just need to know what is a better graphics card:

Intel HD or ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250?

Thank you, please help me decide and if you have anymore computer deals to show me, please tell!

I too am looking for a laptop for my daughter at the same price and specs. your looking for. I think they're both comparable to each other, it doesn't say if the intel integrated is the 4500 or the 5700 series, there would be a difference. I also looked at them in the stores, and can tell you I can't see the video difference between a high end card and an integrated. This would change if you were to play games, or video editing, but for everyday web, word and basic programs any gpu would work. Take a look at this site, this might help http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
