So as you might remember I lost my laptop to an unknown failure a few days ago. Today it has been brought to my attention that it was a motherboard failure. So here I am, shopping for a new, low-cost laptop. So far I've come across these...

What do you guys think? I'm generally trying to keep it under or around $600, so if you have suggestions throw them in.

The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
What do you think of these laptops?
I generally just web browse, but I do a lot of video editing with Sony Vegas. Being able to run WoW would be a plus, but it's not a big deal to me if it can't. Basically just for general use like word processing, power point, music, video editing, etc.
I would get anything that doesnt have an intel graphics card if you want to play wow. if you had more money available I would get an ASUS since most come with accidental replacement warantees. if you can push it, get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152073
this has as a decent video card that is very capable of playing WOW. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152107 good specs. I have the same video card in my ASUS N10, which uses an ATOM and runs WOW. The CPU in this laptop is 3x faster than the atom so you will be able to do a lot. Oh yeah and it has HDMI

That one looks pretty nice, any downfalls? I was starting to warm up to that first one you linked a bit...is there a major difference between the two?
I'm a big fan of the Acer laptops. Very high quality at moderate prices. Here's a pretty good one that might be in your price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115539
Oh god more info to take in. All I see on these is the price, hard disk space, and RAM. I'm liking what Chaser is putting up, I really don't know how it compares to the first one though. Oh godddd!
EDIT: Ok heres the plan. See what I can do about the red and black one, fall back to Chaser's Acer, then the MSI.
