    I have posted this on what notebood should I buy on the main page. But thought I'd try to get it narrowed down to one on each company I current have two laptops I'm liking.

    I'll try to just make it shorter, for quick and easier answer.

    I want a gaming laptop for Starcraft 2 , DB3, maybe some WoW, (rarely) digital art programs at times and for watching movies often.

    I'd like 1920/1800 resolution, a SSD drive would be nice, but isn't a must, but if I could upgrade it later, that would be a major plus!

    I'd like a the best graphic card choice I could get, one that can be upgraded later on would really be super too.


    Here are the two Lenovo laptops I'm currently interesting.

    Over 2100 is really pushing it, so I'd probably have to drop the ssd on the last one. But "ANY" advice on which one of these is better, graphic wise, future upgradable wise and so on etc, would be really, really helpful to me.

    Oh and it "MUST" have a touchstick/dualpointer. I currently use a DELL XPS GEN 1 3.4gh 1gb memory,60gb hd and I love its touchstick to pieces!


    Thanks in advance for any help you may gave,
    LR101

    P.S. None of the Y series has a touchstick do they? I keep looking at them, but none seem to sadly. :-/

    Generally, posting the same or similar threads in multiple forums is frowned upon here. I'm going to close this and your Dell thread, but leave the thread in the WSIBN forum open.
