Woh budget systems have gotten cheap!

yah outta all three of them i say get the compaq and toshiba depending on whether you want a 15in screen or a 17. Intel statisticaly will give you a longer battery life then the Acer's AMD + ATI combination for processor and gpu chipset. Also those guys are new versus the Acer which is refurbished. The may be the fastest computer outta all three of these but i still say get one of the other two. I already know your looking for something light weight with a lot of batt power. If you wanted to game you would have posted totally diff links

Lots of reviews on the Intell one say that the battery life sucks balls.

Just wondering but would any of these be able to play games? like Fallout 3

EDIT 2:
Can you change the graphics card on any of these?

lol hell no, it take at least a 9600gtm to play fallout 3 . my laptop has one and plays fallout great but with much on medium etc.

you might get some reasonable frames with lowest res and everything low but i doubt it,

and no you can not change the videocard on a laptop.

Some dude wrote on his reviews that he plays WoW on the laptop. I think it was either 2 or 3.
I just thought that fallout 3 would be able to too then.

I'm most likely going to get the 3rd choice. ;3

It's possible to change the graphics cards on certain laptops that have a dedicated card, but only if others in that model range have different graphics card options. Upgrading an integrated card = no dice.

There's always the option of overclocking - I did that to my CPU and GPU and it's not overheating or giving any problems (besides raping battery, but I have an underclocked profile for that). Bear in mind that not all GPUs can be done, and in not all cases are they stable at a level which give a noticeable performance boost.

i believe some alienware computers can change video card,
and some asus laptop have external videocard ( or are coming with that soon )

other than that its nearly impossible

Either 2 or 3.
Refurbs are known to cause a lot of problems.

I would go with 3 as a 17" screen makes the Toshiba less portable. Right now I am on my 2005 Compaq Presario Desktop. So I know for fact that Compaqs are good quality PC's in terms of manufacturing quality.

i had a old 166mhz pentium compaq back in the day and that things hardware took a beating. my mom on the other had bought a compaq laptop a few years back and within the first year the trackpad was almost completely warn out (nice oval) the rubber on the left click button slowly wore away and the dc jack in the back had been ripped out (but thats cause the dog ran into the power wire).the plug on the power wire where u plug it into the computer has repeatedly broke. none of which compaq would repair under warranty. the trackpad and button i blame on living in cabo, mexico cause you pritty much always have a fine layer of sand on you.

tldr version, compaq has turned to shit since bought out by HP
