need a semi-budget laptop

i'm looking to buy a laptop that can run full tilt poker, magic online, and aion. neither full tilt or magic online are taxing to the system, but here here are the specs aion: http://www.aionsource.com/forum/gene...uirements.html

Minimum:

Pentium 4 2.8GHz, AMD Athlon 2800
1 GB RAM
GeForce 6600, Radeon X1550
Hard Drive 30GB
DirectX 9.0c(2008,6)

Recommended:


Pentium Dual Core, AMD Athlon 64 X2
2 GB RAM
GeForce 7600, Radeon X2600
Hard Drive 30GB
DirectX 9.0c(2008,6)

they aren't too high. originally i didn't want to spend more than $500 for it, but my friend said that wasn't going to be possible.

i'm shooting for $600-$700. i don't want to spend much more, and i may just abandon the mission to find something if i'd have to spend more.

i'd prefer something smaller, too. i plan to use the laptop in school (i'm a college student).

it doesn't have to be good enough to run any other higher end games. just aion will be fine.

and also i don't mind running it on lower settings. i'd like to be able to run it on something a little higher than the minimum settings, but i'd settle for minumum if necessary.

this is what i'm looking at right now. input?

thanks in advance.


also, sorry if this is in the wrong forum. it looked like the right one. if not, move the thread or just tell me where to post.

You can def. find a notebook that meets those specs for that price.
