p7450 & g105m ddr2 get 2k in 3dmark 06, expect little boost from gddr3,
p8600 & hd4570 gddr3 gets 4k in 3dmark 06

but if can strecth abit budget, benq s42 is better choice.
p8700 and 9600m gt gddr3, score 6k.

America don't have BenQ...==" hahaha..

So any other suggestions for me??

I need looong batt life + decent performance, i don't edit pics very often, but it'll be nice if the laptop won't lag while I edit pics..

Dm1 or Dm3z from hp seem like good candidates. And Asus UL30-X5 seems like it suits me too..

Which 1 is better between Asus k40ab and Lenovo G450 for medium gaming? games like l4d and HoN?

K40AB has better graphic card ati 4570 but weaker proc AMD x2 turion 2.1ghz and its a DDR2 lappy .. its also running hotter

Lenovo G450 has weaker graphic card which is G105m 512mb but stronger proc c2d T6600 2.2ghz and its a DDR3 lappy..

Both of them are almost same price so which lappy will be the best choice?
