I've been looking for a while now for a laptop for school in the near future. I have around $500 to spend, and I'm looking to get one capable of running WoW and other lower end games comfortably. I plan on getting a refurbished one to save money.

I have these two computers in mind at this moment:

Gateway T-1625 Refurbished Notebook PC - AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile TL-60 2.0GHz, 802.11g Wireless, 2GB DDR2, 250GB HDD, DL DVDRW, 14.1" WXGA, Webcam, Windows Vista Home Premium RB-T1625 at TigerDirect.com

and

System Specification

The x1270 graphics appears to be about the best I can get for my price range. I understand that it should outperform the Intel x3100 (which seems to be in most of the laptops in my price range) by a little bit. If anyone has a better idea for me, I'm all ears. I'd be willing to sacrifice something such as hard drive space for better video, but I'm not finding much else.

Thanks.
