laptop xfire advice

Tuesday next week I am going to buy myself a new laptop and what better place is there to get proper advice on this kind of thing than crossfire.nu? :D

General info to take in to account:

- I dont necesarilly need 17inch or bigger because I have a 22inch tv/monitor at my room and actually for traveling to and from school a 15inch would be ideal.
- my budget is anything up to 900 euro's, although if need be it may also be 950 euro's but that's top
- obviously I'd like to have as good a laptop as I can possibly get with abovementioned budget. i'm not doing any kind of graphical design study or anything but I would like to use it for occasional gaming (so i'd like for it to be able to smoothly run any of the latest games) and for watching hd movies etc in general

I'm considering the one below, but if any of you has a better alternative please tell me :P

Asus X57VC-AP039C
intel core duo p7350 2.0GHz
vista home premium
4096mb DDR2
320GB harddisk @ 5400rpm
15inch wxga glare type tft
nvidia geforce 9300gs @ 512mb
built in webcam and microphone

Price = 899 Euro's

i've looked into buying a dell too but from their website it seems they are actually pretty expensive compared to for example the laptop above ;O)

thanks!

looks fine.

i don't think you can do much better with that budget...
i'm just considering whether it would be smart to wait 2 weeks and spend a bit more on a new laptop but I think it's rather unnecessary considering this one is more than sufficient for what I need a laptop for

wow.. nice price..
uninstall vista and that will be a nice laptop

(edit: but whats with that 512mb ram on an x300 graphics card... overkill much?)
do not buy dell studio 15!!! kkthx.
15" is small
would you want to carry around 22" ?

after 2 hours he will cry from the weight

and 17" becomes a pain to carry around
