Newegg laptops

[lans83]

which of these laptops thru newegg would you suggest would be a good investment for multiboxing? think they'd be able to run 5 accounts layered, not PIP, in windowed mode? running the main at max settings and all slaves in the background at minimum settings and 15fps? would any of these also be a good desktop replacement? i've been looking to buy a laptop for a long time, but not 100% sure if i want to get one over a new desktop. if i go this route, which one be best to MBing WoW and playing games like Battlefield 2142 at max settings? another thing i'm wanting to do is level designing with the map editor with Steam for Half-Life 2 source.

I have this plugged into a 22" Samsung monitor and it runs four clients flawlessly.

I would go with the NVidia 9700M or ATI HD3650.

sorry Ugh, there's no 9700s listed here...wish there were for these prices...i like that laptop that Duane posted...if i can run a 22" monitor off it, guess i can deal with a screen on it 2" smaller...would i be able to reformat it and install vista ultimate on there and/or put 64bit on it to get the full 4gigs of ram? i know that all factory PCs/Laptops come bogged down with apps preinstalled, one reason i like to build my own is to avoid that hassle. plus, would the Logitech G11 keyboard be a good investment with multiboxing on these laptops? the link is here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126009

So far, with all the toons at 20, I haven't run into any problems with just the 3gigs of ram. So I can't say that it won't bog down in Shatt.
