Need to purchase a laptop?

[George W. Bush]

I need a good laptop for daily stuff + gaming. I was looking at:

$1800 - Toshiba Satellite Intel Centrion Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz Laptop (P100-MA5)

$1500 - HP Pavilion AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core 1.8GHz Media Center Laptop With Mobile Technology (DV9010)
(http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0080749&catid=)

Toshiba has a nicer videocard, bigger (but slower Hard Drive), and faster CPU.

The HP has a much nicer visual look, a 1.3MP webcam - but smaller HD (120 instead of the 200 GB HD), and a shared videocard.

Not sure whether any of these laptops are worth the money, but need one.

What do you recommend from there, or should I look at other places for a good 17" widescreen + performance laption under $2000 (with taxes)?
