Re: Difficult Decision - High End low Weight.
This HP NC8430 would be a good choice. This is a great deal. The laptop is pretty lightweight for a 15.4" and has a great ATI X1600 GPU so will be great for gaming. Find it here:

Specs are great :D and is the one i wanted to get but the weight is too high.
