Acer Ferrari 4000


This one is my pick for the true blue gamer! Buy this laptop, and you get the best graphics, the best future-proof machine (64 bit), the highest HDD space, best media writer (DVD RW - Double Layer writing), and the best compatibility (5 in 1 card Reader)
The Acer Ferrari is the official notebook used by all technicians who work on the 2006 Ferrari F1 car. The notebook features the top of the line AMD Turion ML 30 (1.6 GHz) 64 bit processor. The AMD ML 37 (2.0 GHz) is also available as an option. It features AMD PowerNow!™, AMD HyperTransport™, and 3DNow!™.
The graphics solution is powered by ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X700 with 128 MB of external DDR VRAM, supporting ATI POWERPLAY™ 5.0, Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 and PCI Express™DualView™ support.
It has an 80 GB HDD and DVD RW with Double Layer writing for DVD's.
This bad boy does not come cheap though.

Toshiba Satellite A 80


This Toshiba has a Pentium M 1.7 GHz processor and the graphics are powered by ATI Mobility Radeon IGP 7000. Its unique feature is the 15" XGA TFT LCD with Clear SuperView Technology. This means that the screen is clearly viewable even from the side from any angle. Only Toshiba offers this technology currently in this price range. Another excellent machine for gaming on the go. It has WI-FI and SRS TruSurround sound technology. However it does not have DVD RW, only DVD R.

HP Compaq nx6110


HP has this offering in the same price range. It has a faster processor; Pentium M at 1.86 GHz. But the drawback is that it has 128 MB shared Video RAM. Still, it is one of the best for its price. I could not find it listed on the HP site. However it is available at all dealers here in India.
