Update on the situation: Since none of the laptops offered were on par with my previous one they have given me the choice of taking a nice desktop with a GeForce 8800gt and 4 gigs of RAM. What do ya think

Its the same aproximate value as the laptops.

Let me clarify that this is not an invitation for you all to rant about your expieriences with the brands. Customer support will be handled by pc world, which is good. I NEED to know which is best for gaming and why.

Hrmm, never had a good experience with HP, in or out of the office. Had an HP pc a while ago, will not go back. One time I had to find drivers for one of their office printers and I had to wade through a truly appalling support page. They had a half dozen sets of drivers with no clear descriptive language to differentiate one from another.

Im in retail with a US based office supply store, ACER = Crapola they are cheap for a reason ! Im told customer service with them is abysmal , Toshiba , Sony , and Fujitsu are nice brands to go with . If you can find the laptop you're interested in buying in a store on display , run the Vista experience rating (computer properties) and take note of where it's lowest score/s show you. I have seen AMD quadcores that run lower scores than my old FX 55 score does.

EDIT* The more I think about it the more I like the HP.........man im confused.

I had an Acer Travelmate, don't remember the model number, and it was good, never any problems with it. Right now I have an Asus M50SV and it is smoking hot.

the Acer - no doubt, looks best to me

Toshibas might run into heat problems eventually (i also read that)

And my personal experience: no Sony - Sony Notebooks bad!
At least the one i bought 5 years ago.... Never again!
