    A couple of cheap laptops at the NEX around here and i'm looking to buy one to play games comming out this year. (aion online, heroes of newerth, SC2, etc.)
    the 3 laptops i saw within my price range were
    Dv6-1268nr with 4650 hd gig dedicated memory 2.2ghz 800~

    HDX 16-1370us gt 130m p7550 processor 900~

    Dv6-1280us 4650 hd, 2.4ghz, and 6gig ram. 1050~

    just wondering which of those will last me 3-4 years and is the best money=performance wise.

    or if all 3 suck any suggestions for a laptop around 1000? i was thinking about saving a bit more and getting a sager np8662 but that's a last resort

    The DV6 with a HD4650 will be much better for gaming than the HPHDX16 with a Geforce GT 130m since the HD4650 has GDDR3 memory
