So I've recently decided to purchase a laptop. However, since I don't consider myself particularly knowledgeable about computers, buying a laptop presents a certain predicament I'm sure a lot of people can relate to.

This is why I've turned to the great tech-savvy minds of our General Support board. After seeing threads like "Customized computer?" and several other miscellaneous threads I feel I'm in good hands.

Basically, I'm looking for a laptop for around $1000, centered mostly around gaming and multimedia.

I've also done some shopping around and have a couple choices already lined up that I'd like to hear your opinion on.

SONY VAIO FW Series VGN-FW139E/H NoteBook
Acer Aspire AS6920-6441 NoteBook
Acer Aspire AS5920-6574 NoteBook
HP Pavilion dv6936us NoteBook
HP Pavilion dv5-1010us NoteBook
SONY VAIO FW Series VGN-FW139N/W NoteBook
TOSHIBA Satellite A305-S6845 NoteBook
ASUS M51 Series M51Sn-C1 NoteBook

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and if you have any other laptops in mind feel free to let me know.

Thanks.
