is it for gaming...office or home use?

gaming: hp dv6 series..gives you full 512mb dedicated video card for hardcore gamer and 4gb ram.

home: ever reliable acer slim edition...light weight, long battery life and LED screen ( gives you bright and clear picture) good for internet surfing.

office: i prefer dell or ibm....nothing much interesting about it.

the bottom line is... it all boils down in you budget.
