    Yes those do look good, but the 15 inch screen one , is in my price range, but i'd like to have a 17". And the cheaper one has a graphics card i have never heard of (Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900) So is there one for cheaper somewhere else?

    If you want to game on the laptop, don't get the integrated graphics. You'll be stuck with minesweeper.
