Which laptop would you go for?

Hi, i'm looking for a laptop that is sub $700, although sub $600 is preferred

I've narrowed it down to a few options:

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10126015&catid=28239

Pros:
Low price, 4GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3200, HDMI, Wireless N, card reader

Cons:
Not Core 2 Duo, Prefer Intel, not sure about reliability of acer

http://configure.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=ni152_f_3e&c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&kc=laptop-inspiron-1545

Pros:
Core 2 Duo, 4gb RAM, Wireless N (same as Acer), Dell name brand, Intel processor

Cons:
Bad graphics card Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD, No HDMI (not a huge concern), no card reader, slightly pricey

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?langid=EN&logon=&sku_id=0926INGFS10126820&CMP=ILC-BBY_hmpg1_slide1

Pros:
4gb of RAM, HDMI, card reader, Intel processor

Cons:
No core 2 duo, no wireless N and not to good graphics card.

What do you think is the best? I won't be doing too much gaming just ocassional WoW and watching HD Video and browsing mostly

Thanks,
Nick

If you can, go for a lenovo business class. I've had my T60 for three years and have had zero problems. Not made for gaming but extremely durable and built to last.

Thanks I'll check them out, but there a bit out of my price range. I can get a SL500 for 728, but only 3gb of RAM, whereas I can get these for less but with 4gb ( the lenovo has core 2 duo same as dell).
