So I am in the woods for a new notebook. I have been looking online, and went down to the local computer shop for ideas on what I should get. My needs of course. I would like to play some games on mine. Such as Counter Strike, Guildwars, and some others, that I will find down the road. I would like the luxury of being able to play any game that I would like, maybe not the highest end games, but pretty close. To also be able to get a good signal if I happen to be out at a friends house, or doing something else.
Here are some of the computers I have been looking at. Not the best, but I think would suit my needs being a student, and involved in other things besides computers.
LG E500-GP01A9
Price: $1399 CND

The down there, if I can remeber, said that it would be able to run the games that I wanted, that it would be a good fit for me. Plus, if anything went wrong with it, LG is located in Vancouver, so it wouldn't be that far for me to ship it off too. Plus, I would get some free add-ons with it. Such as virus protection and 1 Year MCS/Manufacturer Warranty. And I really like the wireless b/g with Quad-band Antenna, the guy down at the shop said that it will pick up a signal almost anywhere, and will be nice and strong.

Alienware Area-51 M5550
Price: $1060 + Shipping CND
http://www.alienware.com/product_de...Code=PC-LT-AREA51M5550-R3&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT
I have heard good things about Alienware and all of their computers. My only problem with them is that its a company in the States, so it would be a problem if something went wrong with it, and would have to wait a couple of weeks for it to come back. If I wanted to take it to the shop here, that would cost a pretty penny, and I would rather just get it under the warrenty.

Dell XPS M1330
Price: $1,379 + Shipping CND

The computer company is a Canadian one, but I am not sure where. Otherwise, I think the computer looks pretty strong, the one factor I don't like about it is the 13 inch screen, and all of the other computer look to have about the same parts.
What I would like to know is:
1) What Computer Has The Best Componets.
2) What Computer(s) Can Run The Most Games.
3) What One Would Suit a Student For Playing Games/Doing Homework. (Good Multi tasker.)
4) What Are The Chances Of Something Going Wrong?
