Torn between Brands (Toshiba vs. Asus)

Hey guys (and possibly gals).

I need to buy a laptop within the next month and I'm kind of stuck on what I should get.

Requirements:

Not UGLY!!!
Good graphics card (not insane--just good)
At least 1440x900 resolution on a 15.4" display (I don't want to be stuck with 1280x800)
Good Intel Core 2 duo processor. 2.0ghz or better (doesn't have to be top of the line though)
DVI or HDMI out (preferably HDMI)

Everything else is variable:
RAM, HDD, etc...

I really like the Asus M50-VM-A1 laptop based on its specs and reviews from owners of it. I have not had the opportunity to hold this machine in my hands though so I'm not sure on it.

I was in London Drugs yesterday and I was playing around with some of the Toshiba's there and was impressed with their overall design but there are so many models I don't know where to start.

I will use the laptop for 90% of the time web, office, normal use... and games for probably less than 10% (but I want the option of playing some of the newer games but not necessarily at high quality settings)

What would be comparable in Toshiba?

I should probably add that my price range is UNDER $1,300

 

none of them will be good. go witht he sager np2092. cheap and powerful.

 

Hmm Sager?

I've never heard of the Sager brand and I'm hesitant to go outside brands I trust. A lot of people say Dell is good but I've had so much bad experience with Dells breaking down I don't want one.

Update to my initial post. A 15 inch screen with a resolution of 1440x900 is preferred, but a 1280x800 would be fine too.

 

if you want a something with a good res that is slightly over 15 i say go with the vaio fw all the way i think it's 1600x900 its amazing though it isn't ground breaking, hope this helps

 

um, the fw has the 3470

he asked for a good GPu
