Hey guys I've been researching and looking for a laptop that will last me a long time, but I want to get one that comes with the free xbox 360. I've checked various sites, and I'm comparing three laptops. I'm planning on doing most of my gaming on the xbox, but I wouldn't mind if the laptop could handle some games, and I really want a laptop with decent speakers. These are the three I've narrowed it down to.

Obvious differences:
#1, the Asus has 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, only a 13.3" screen, only has USB 2.0, has an 8 cell battery and has discrete nvidia graphics and Altec Lansing speakers with SRS premium sound, webcam.
#2, the Acer has 6gb ram, 640gb hdd, a 15.6" screen, has USB 3.0, has 6 cell battery, and has discrete nvidia graphics, not really sure about the speakers, webcam.
#3, the Toshiba has 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, a 15.6" screen, has USB 3.0, has 6 cell battery, has Intel graphics, but has Harman Kardon speakers, webcam.
#4, the HP has 6gb ram, 750gb hdd, 15.6" screen, has two USB 3.0, has 6 cell battery, has Intel graphics, has beats audio with quad speakers, webcam.
Are Acer any good?
Anything else a better deal for $799 or less? [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=br_lf_m_1000676291_grlink_1?ie=UTF8&plgroup=1&docId=1000676291"]Buy a PC and Get a Free Xbox 360[/ame]
For general use should I just forego the xbox deal and find something with an i3 sandy?
