Buying New Laptop -- $2500 Spending Limit

Hey All,

Well I'm looking into my 1st laptop and I have been researching mainly through newegg.com. The two that I have put my interest into are the ACER and ABS computers:

Acer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115226

and the

ABS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834224056

Both of the computers are quality computers....
This is what I need....
The laptop will be used for listening to music, playing high performance/quality games, will be using Quicken, and other basic programs (Word, Excel, Firefox), about that.

I will spend no more than $2500.00 So which of those should I choose or if you have a better laptop then post it up.

Your help is appreciated

Thanks.

configure an inspiron e1705 on dell.com to around $3200 and then use the coupon code :R3D0GW03LCSZ14 to get an additional $750 off. this makes the price around $2500 with shipping

i configured one with the upgraded screen, 2.0ghz processor, upgraded video card and hard-drive to around $3007 after the discount.
*note: right now theyre doing some deal where you get 22% off. ignore the price you see, look at the one that has a strikethrough on it.
