ASUS G1-AK008M OR LG S1-M002A9 or LG P1-5001A9??

Hey Guys.. Right now I'm trying to shop for a laptop that's made for School/gaming.

I've read some threads around here saying that Asus's G1 laptop seems to be a good pick as well as LG's S1 and LG P1. I'm not sure which one I should choose... The store I'm planning to shop at is Canada Computers.

I only know the S1, and i can tell you that, if you buy this notebook you wont regret it.
It just depends in how much do you really want to spend.

 

How upgradeable is the S1?

I'm not sure how well laptops could be customized. I wanted to know if I can upgrade my video cards/HDD/Processor in the future.

 

you can only upgrade the memory and hard drive, the CPU and Radeon X1600 (which by the way is 256 megs dedicated, 256 taken from memory) cannot be changed.
