Laptop help please..

Hi, can you ask about laptops in here? :P I'm looking to buy a laptop that could play some basic games like HL2, FEAR and some RTS. Unfortuntely my budget is low and I can't spend over £500.
So far these three laptops have grabbed my attention.

That one because of the 8400M.

And that one because of the CPU.

This one seems very similar to the HP but is a bit more expensive, any ideas why?

Is there a massive, massive difference in the CPUs? Especially the T7100 compared with the other two.

Which laptop would you guys recommend?
Many thanks, Jamflan

i've got the hp one, same spec but in 17 inch screen

great bit of kit ,good build quality and i can run wWIC on medium and COH on high easily

For 49 pounds more you get a much faster 256mb 8600gs which will run most games at medium/high at 1024x800.

all the best, jamflunk! money is scarce, u must be in uni or somethin.

how much does the average laptop cost over there in UK?

I am indeed at uni and so very cheap haha.

Average cost range is pretty vaired there are a lot cheaper than the ones I've looked at, equally the gaming ones are pretty steep.

How much performance difference is there between the T7100 and the TL-60?

Cheers again, Jamflanuk
