Need a laptop that will play Bf2-budget

[FingolfinKing]

Okay, so I have around 1500$ to spend on a laptop. I want ot be able to play games on it to some extent, but I dont demand ultra graphics, my SLi rig takes care of that. I'd like to of course see the best I can get for that price or around it. I don NOT need a mouse. I would like a decent reolution screen thats not particularly tiny (bigger than 13 inches is usually good)

I dont really care about the brand. As well, they have to ship to Canada, though the 1500$ is in American $

Re: Need a laptop that will play Bf2-budget

wanna buy my lappy off me? lol id gladly get rid of it for a newer one. I would go with one of those HP dv8000's with a...uhm...nVidia 7600? i think its that or like a 7300 but its sposed to play on mostly high graphics and it comes with a 17 inch screen, fairly good processor too. pretty much...yeah, you should check it out, probly around $1500 too

P.S.
Make sure you go with the dv8000t, not the dv8000z, cause the z comes with an X200M vid card, which is not a gamers card...i have an X600 and i play mostly low/off with a couple medium settings on bf2. and the dv8000t comes with the 7600 which should play pretty good i think, someone correct me if im wrong on that one

Waiting one second.

Yeah...Aren't those only valid in the USA? If not how exactly do I apply them, for it says that they "require eligibility validations."
