What laptop????

Mar 9, 2005 5:20AM PST

I can't decide which laptop to get. I plan to watch movies, surf the web, email, and some light gaming (playing Rome Total War mainly).

I want a decent processor, 512mb RAM, capable graphics card (at least 64mb or video RAM, shared memory is fine with me), nice screen, and I would like at least 3 hours of battery life. I don't want to spend over $750.

I've been looking at these:

Any thoughts? Thanks!
