A Good Gaming Laptop under $900

[yotorogo]

hi i want to buy a good gaming laptop, but i have a budget of 900 dollars.
I know the really good gaming laptops are like $1,200 or more.
i want to play games like battlefield 3, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Skyrim etc...... i have done my reaserch i know that i will be needing a NIVDIA GeForce graphics card....... Here is a list of laptops i have found that i think might fight my needs but im not an expert so i was wondering if you guys could tell me what you think

#1 choice VAIO VPCEH2FGX/B 15.5" LED Notebook - Intel Core i5 i5-2430M 2.40 GHz - Charcoal Black | PCWorld

#2 choice http://www.superwarehouse.com/ASUS_K...DS71/p/1672347

#3 choice EliteBook 8440p XT920UA 14" LED Notebook - Core i7 i7-640M 2.8GHz | PCWorld


Im leaning towards number one.......also is there a big difference in intel i5 and intel i7, and would choice #1 be able to play the games a listed above smoothly and efficiently

I have the acer Aspire Timeline X laptop, Model 3830tg-6415
It comes with the top of the line core i3, better than the i5 you get with under $900
It has an Nvidia GT540m 1gb Graphics card, plays Battlefield 3 SMOOTH AS BUTTER.
And it's great for other jobs too, as it is only 13.3" and widescreen

if i wanted i could always increase the gb of the graphics card right

You cannot replace these GPUs. And higher VRAM doesn't equate to better performance in most cases. Higher VRAM comes into the picture if you intend to do 3D gaming or have a multi-monitor setup.
See if you can hold out until laptops with the new Kepler based GT640m and the GT650m are released. They will outclass any of the GPUs available today in their respective price brackets.
Your choices right now include the HP DV6t with the 7690m which should give you adequate gaming performance. Coupons are available here HP® Coupons, Coupon Codes, Promo Code
