They all seem like what im looking for, i just need some information and/or opinion to sway my decision.

the dell but tbh there almost all the same laptop.. okay where do you live seriously ten bucks there's a fry electronics or a compusa near you with much better deals. there all essentially the same the difference is the hard drive size and it will make no difference anyways in gaming. the bottom of the pile is the toshiba due to the turion II ultra.

The nearest Fry or compusa store is about a 3 hour drive. What exactly makes the turion worse than the athlon? The dell certainly looks attractive at the moment being 20$ cheaper and possibly better looking and performing than the others but im still going to keep comparing and researching. Thanks for the input btw.

the turion II ultra = athalon 64 x2 of the same clock speed

the athalons are equal to their am3 counterparts fo the same clocks.

its like trying to compared the preformance of a pentium D prescott to a core i3 hahaha

Any thoughts on this one? The processor is better i think but the graphics card is worse.

in terms of everyday sue this is a good balance of stuff and it would sit nicely between that toshibe and the dell & hp from earlier. if you wanted to game it would be the bottom for the pile. the reason intel graphics.. which currently arent fit to run half life 2 let alone anything modern :o

like the athalon II from earlier the dell asnt that bad but there was alternatives out there if you wanted to game you could but dont expect much. i gave my brother a system nearly identical to the toshiba and here are his limits:

codmw2: medium 1024 x 768 resolution

bioshock 1: high natural resolution

brothers in arms: hells highway: high, 1024 x 768 (barely playable fps)

dow I: dark crusade: highest settings shadows and unit occulsion off/low 1366 x 768

guildwars eotn: maxed out (enforced aa and af, hd characters mod) 1366 x 768

WoW: medium quality 45fps 1366 x 768 (taken in shatt, and orgrimmar during moderate levels of activity(noon on a weekday))

code of honor 3; desperate measures: 1366 x 768 highest no aa or af

basically the hd 4250 = an hd 2400pro

if you can find something with its slightl beefier cousin the hd 4330 its equel to an hd 3450 gpu whcih would give you a significant boost in preformance gaming wise. but if i had to do with that it wouldnt be that bad.
