here's the deal.. im looking for a laptop with these features..

at least a p4 2.4 / 1.6 centrino
ati graphics 9700/9600
512 Ram

those are the main things.. my budget is 5K.. i found a few that met that requirements.. the problem is, the brand.. which of this do u guys think is ok?

- Benq joybook 7000 - with 1.6 centrino, 512 ram, dvd writer, ati 9700 for rm 6000

- Acer (not sure what series) - with 1.6 centrino, 256 ram, combo drive, ati 9700 - for rm 4988

this are the only two laptops with ati9700, which is my primary concern, since im using it for gaming purposes mostly

should i go for benq or acer? i know that these two used to be in the same company. Or should i go for fujitsu or toshiba which is undoubtly has the best quality laptops but at an overcharging price?

please help me.. i want to play WoW as soon as possible.. rugi xp wooo..

sure u can get a toshiba with p4 and with ati 9700.. but the price is around >10k.. i've called them about the price.. i was shocked to hear the price he told me

even the fujitsu is around 8k i think, the one with ati9700.. anyways, dont go for dell.. ive experienced dell b4, the bat was dead, and i think something was wrong with the HD.. yes i could buy a new one, but it had to be a DELL product, and its damn expensive.. i ask for any other option.. he said i could recycle it for another dell laptop.. so i thought they were going to take my laptop in for some cash or rebate, but it turns out to be, they were taking my laptop for free....

so all in all.. this is what i found out.. coz im looking for a laptop for gaming too..
1. don't get DELL laptops, sure its cheap, but its after service...
2. get toshiba or fujitsu if you are really on a big budget, coz they are overcharging thier customers.. hey they are the best laptops retailers..
3. get acer or benq, im not sure about these two, in terms of realibility and quality.. but the specs are good.

still doing some research on acer and benq, looking for customer complaints or anything like that.. hope i had more budget so that i can get toshiba!!
