Asus of Sager Laptop.

I am going away for school and understand that desktops are always better for gaming but i need theconvenience of a laptop. I am asking for anyone opinion on which laptop. Im looking for something that is fast, able to output 1080p on my tv, can play decent graphic demanding games, and has a decent customer service. I have heard good things and bad things about both. Is it true that as long as it has an HD outlet you can get 1080p resolution on your tv or does the laptop need to have 1920x1080 resolution. The two comps are

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input. I will think about maybe a netbook down the road...(Christmas Maybe). I noticed the asus has a 9 cell and the sager has 6cell battery. I know the 9cell would last longer. I may want to go with the Asus just because the battery life and better graphics. Should I be worred that the Asus is refurbished and the Sager is brand new? The Sager website states is supports full 1080p output. Is that the case with every laptop that has a hdmi output>?

My friend has the exact same Asus. I myself have a previous model, the G50VT-x1 which actually has a faster processor, but everything else is the exact same. The 9800M GS is a pretty good mobile graphics card, as it'll run anything, not at max settings but still very well with proper tweaking. I play most newer games at close to max settings.

Beanoooo

Ok well it looks like I will probably go with the Asus G50vt-x5. I always hear about people installing windows7 or tweaking thier machine. Is there a good website with some info on this. I am always hesitant to overclock because I dont fully understand it. This will also be my first machine with window vista on it. I may need to do some reading because I always hear that Vista has too much stuff intergrated that it slows the comps potential.

Ok well thank for the awsome help. I go for the Asus but if it sells out soon and I cant get it then the Sager will do. I think the computer comes with vista of TigerDirect so I will maybe look into Windows7 in the future wheen I have more money lol. I am also gonna look into laptoplaptop accessories. I may need a sleave for this thing. maybe a cooler, small speakers because the speakers are not that great supposidly. I still have an old laser mouse from logitech that seems to work fine. Is there really a big difference in the mouses these days?
