Something with a decent GPU eh? Look for something with an AMD APU if you can.  Those will fare better on the graphics side than an intel processor.  But if you want a faster CPU, you'll have to go with Intel.

ill probably go with the hp  ;)  thx bro

Yeah no problem. I would also look up sales/deals on laptops with similar processors to get the most out of your money. That HP I linked is already pretty good tho.
