Which Laptop is the best deal? :O

[macaroni]

Hi, I need to buy a laptop real soon. I want a 17 inch screen, and would prefer to keep it cheap, so heres a few I've found (I live in Canada btw, so these prices are canadian as I probably can only buy from canadian retailers):

#1 - MSI E7235-295US Intel P7350 4GB 320GB 17IN WXGA+ GeForce GT130M Windows 7 Premium Notebook

($599 after MIB) - 3 yr warranty

(The #2 standard one for 629$ and the #3 More Power one for 799$) - 1 yr warranty

I'd sooner buy one of the two at the $600 mark, unless the $799 one is way better and definitely worth it.

and btw, I'll be using it mainly for schoolwork and a maybe a bit for games like guild wars, bf1942, etc. Also a dial up modem is great if included and I want bluetooth as well and wireless internet as well.

Thanks (I'd add a poll but can't find the option xD)
