Sager NP5125 is a great choice(better than both of those that you linked

[iokau]

Well, the sager is a bit over my budget when you add a OS, which I need since I don't have an extra code lieing around.

I did just find this on sale at newegg though:
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220715&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL090910&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL090910-_-EMC-090910-Index-_-LaptopsNotebooks-_-34220715-L03A

Would it be worth it?

 

[Maziar]

Yes that's also great and has a more powerful VGA than the Sager model i posted, the only downside is its CPU,but you can't get any better laptops(with a better or similar VGA)in your price range.

Thanks for your help, I'll be ordering it later tonight unless someone else has any suggestions.
