Really need some good advice!

Im looking for a good laptop to buy for college. So I can work and play games. I can only spend about 1,100 or a little more. Ive come down to two choices which are

http://www.abs.com/app/config.asp?mono=1850

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/dare_to_compare?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

the abs has the 9700 and the dell has the x1300 and the x1400. Which of those would be better? Any other suggestions for laptops would be good also. All help is greatly appreciated i'm not too familiar with stuff like this.

I also just found this site

If anyone has ordered from the two other than dell. Let me know if they are reliable. Sorry if its too much at once.

i would go with the dell. too bad about the hard drive, tho. the core duo and pentium m seem to be better cpus for mobile than the amds. good price too. the x1300 is a better performing card with more/newer features.
