I'll be going to college next year, so I'm looking for a laptop that's good for student life. I'm also into gaming so that's important too... and it'd be nice if the laptop is lightweight. Thanks!

Any of those would be a great choice but, obviously, the Pavilion with its i7 Sandy Bridge processor and 6MB cache is the most powerful. $1099.99 is a real value for what you're getting. Go for it!

This HP 17-1181NR is a fantastic, do-anything computer. I use it mostly to run AutoCAD Architecture for my small firm. I wanted a laptop to mostly function as an additional PC but that I could take with me, if I wanted to work from the road. It is a BIG laptop and heavy. Be prepared. It was also a little difficult finding a laptop case to handle the size. On the upside, it is just as fast as my desktop running some pretty heavy programs, the graphics are amazing. I never feel like I'm working from a laptop. The huge screen allows me to work efficiently. I had read many reviews that mentioned how hot the unit runs and so I purchased a laptop fan to rest it on. A worthwhile investment.
