which one to go for:

[jimgeagea]

hi guys,
i have around 1000-1200$ to spend on a laptop. I was searching and found the Acer Aspire 5672 wlmi the best laptop to go for.
I am confused which model to get:
- x1600 with 1 GB RAM
- x1400 with 2 GB RAM

I will be using it for multimedia, some gaming, mostly video games programming.

They are almost the same price, so what do you think i should get?
PS: IF you can provide me other laptop brands for the same price range (specs and price).
Thanks.

 

[who am I - I ask]

if you have 1200 i would be looking at a dell not a acer
