I have been looking at laptops on the net for 10 days now and I have narrowed down my choices to these: HP Pavilion dv7-1270us http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147919 ASUS G Series G71G-X1 http://www.notebookreview.com/price/opinions.asp?productFamilyID=1230&pid=192023 Acer Aspire AS6920-6141 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115474 Gateway P-172X FX http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/31578/review/p172x_fx.html I would like a good gaming experience but my priority would be video and audio quality. I do not know much about the reliability and customer service of any of these brands ( though have heard some bad things about gateaway). If you own any of these laptops or have had experience with customer service of any of them please comment.
