    I have found two laptops one G51Vx-X3A, and the other one HP DV6-2064CA.
    http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10131706&catid=
    and Aus N81vp-D2

    All of them would cost around same, after I apply the newegg's 10% off coupon.

    I would like notebook mostly for games. The HP looks good for the deal, it has blue ray dvd player to go with it, but I am not too familiar with AMD's.
    What would AMD Turion II Ultra Dual Core M640 be comparable to if you compare it with intel.
    Thanks

    Agreed... why do people keep going for these crappy HP units...
    I know the price is nice but gaming performance/editing wise is just plain aweful in regards to the HP. To be more blunt, graphics card absolutely blows on the HP...
