    Default Buying a Laptop- Input needed.

    In need of .org assistance badly. Out of the following three, which strikes people as the best value for money and the one most likely to match the qualities I desire?

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    It's by no means between those three but the idea of which best suits me would give me an indication of where I should be looking. I basically want the following things from the Laptop:
    • It will be used to complete asignments ect and will need to be mobile enough to be carried to lectures and other places.
    • I want to be able to play some games on it. Most of my gaming now takes place on the 360 so FPS and other high demand games (Bioshock 2 for example) most likely wont be played on it. I'm a massive Civilization junkie so as long as I get speedy turns from that game I'll be happy.
    • Preferably something which is as "future proof" as possible. Buying or thinking about computer hardware normally depresses the hell out of me because technology moves so fast you rarely get the worth of what you paid for. I'm hoping it can last between 3/4 years before I have to swap it out for a new one and begin the whole cycle all over again.


    That's about it really. Any input would be hugely appreciated but responses along the lines of "they all suck", "buy a desktop", "here's a link to an obscure site where the price is cheaper" are not. The retailer in question is near and I don't mind spending a little more because I trust it as a reputable shop.
