Which laptop should I pick?

[mnelson07]

None of those seem very well priced to me. I think you could do better for a grand. Are you using any coupons or anything? Try these, you can get a better computer for less.

Some other good coupons on that site, too, if you must go Dell.

Yeah, I couldn't find any coupons. I knew Dell did them, that $400 off one is awesome. I can configure a $1400-1500 Inspiron 1420 and get it for the same price as the quoted ones above!
Of course, I'll need to sell this dang laptop before Jan. 31st which isn't looking too likely. I know Dell will have more coupons, but this is a pretty good deal right now.

I would stray away from all three, intergrated graphics is garbage. Even if not gaming, the overall sytem runs smoother with a dedicated video card.

What about the toll on the battery?

You can adjust the graphics chip to use less power when running on battery.
