How welll will these labtops game??

Im buying a labtop for gaming on the Go, but i dont know to much about them so i wanted to know how welll these would do on ur best guesses this was my first choice

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...741150473&rd=1

secons choice

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...161681153&rd=1

third choice
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...161682390&rd=1

I would go to Dell or Alienware but i cant afford 3Grand for a computer right now, but if u could tell how theses would perform under games like D3 Farcry and WoW.

I dig the second choice, the iBuyPower - widescreen and a fairly well-known brand with quality components.

I like the second choice, too. A 9700 is a step down from getting a laptop with a 6800 GO. 1 GB of memory is really nice.

the first laptop comes with 60 gigs and music, and 40 gigs of ripped DVDs? can you say illegal?

second off the first laptop video card sucks

Quote:
NVIDIA GeForce™ FX Go5700; 128-bit memory interface; support for up to 128MB RAM,

The ibuypower doesnt say how much it weighs, and the third weighs 7 pounds!!!

I can tell you the first one is a fishy since there is no such thing as a 120GB laptop drive, let alone a 7200 rpm one. And as GroundZero said, I'm pretty sure selling a lappy with 60 gigs of music and for gigs of DVDs is illegal.

The second and third ones are okay, although I like the second one more. If I were you I'd wait for the new Mobility X800 cards, as well as the new Pentium M procs. From what I've read, the Pentium M's are very worthy proccesors that keep up with a P4 at much lower temps and more battery life. And the X800s are gonna be sick. Good luck in your search!

Yeah, don't even think about bidding on the first laptop. I am surprised that no one has reported that to the Ebay staff yet, because that clearly is: A). illegal or B). a scam. In all likely hood, it is both.

Are you strictly looking to buy the laptop from Ebay only? You could possibly spend some money on a system from a reputable site like Newegg and have the satisfaction of knowing that your laptop is a real one.

I would definitelly go with this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...161681153&rd=1

You can't go wrong with the third one either, but the specs are almost identical, and so is the preformance, but it's a lot more expensive.

that's pretty damn overpriced!
it has only 512MB of RAM which isn't sufficient, it's DDR2 which costs a kidney to add another 512MB stick, especially if there are 2x256MB sticks in there now, then you would have to go with a gig stick (if it exists in DDR2, I think it does). x600 vanilla.... pathetic.... just pathetic overall, including that 5400rpm HDD
