    I would say the Dell 13" is the best choice between mobility and gaming wise.

    is there a big difference between the T8400 and the P8600?

    because the Studio XPS has a slower CPU but a faster GPU comared to the Studio 15. But then, the XPS got faster RAM...i could upgrade the XPS CPU to a P8600...but i dont know if it worth the money


    i'll check MSI ones also


    thanks for replys!

    Just yesterday went shopping with friend to spend her money with her.It was fun when you spend someone else's money.
    Got her 1st Laptop. She is not a gamer, but she has a niece, and Nephew, he likes to play the Call of Duty Games for example.
    We got her the HP Dv7-1275DX/ Core-2 Duo P7450 Centrino, has a 9600m GT 512MB GPU
    Me my self don't like the keys, hard to see letters when a direct light on keys refects.
    She will just use it for Email, surfing the web, and games that are preinstalled in notebook.

    From those choices, DV5 for gaming, if you read around, the DV5 gets a lot of recommendations :)
