    If the Acer TM8200 hits Canada, you might be able to pick that up for $3k Ca. It has the X1600, which is as good as it gets in a 15.4" with decent battery life.

    On a 15" laptop, the x700 is probably as good as you'll getunless you want to wait for dual core. Of those you listed, I like the Asus.

    Yes, like Chaz said you could get the travel mate 8200 with a core duo processor at 2ghz and 2 gb of ram and a amazing mobility x1600 roughly 20-45% more powerfull then the mb x700. And the hd is 120gb in size and it already available in Canadasys for only 2300$ which should be in your budget, sadly its out of mine :(. x700 gets abt 2500-2700 3dmark05 stock and x1600gets 4000+ on stock. The acer is a 15.4 inch, non glossy because its ment for business users."that game alot"

    hope that helps
