Laptop for PDFs and Gaming

by Socinus Jul 17, 2009 3:46AM PDT

Apparently I put this in the wrong forum before, sorry!

I need a laptop that can perform the following functions.

-Read image heavy PDFs without choking
-Handle heavy Internet use
-Be able to run Battlefield 2142 (specs http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/battlefield2142/tech_info.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary )

$550 is absolute maximum for price.

I've been looking at the Asus X83VB-X2 as a possible candidate.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
