    I looked around on Amazon for laptops in that price range. I don't see why you shouldn't just get another Toshiba, since you liked it. Personally, I prefer ASUS right now because some of their laptops are pretty good with games and typically will have decent video cards on them. I recommend reading through the reviews and checking out the specifications. Along with Amazon, check out Newegg - you can search by video card there with their power search feature.

    Here is my Amazon search:

    This HP ProBook 4530s XU015UT is an excellent computer,lending me to believe that HP puts a lot into their probook series of laptops. The touch pad is annoying, but not annoying enough to complain. And as far as the extra software, there was not a lot on it at all. And all you need is a good uninstaller (a third party one, I suggest either Revo or Advanced Uninstaller Pro). Took what I wanted off and I have no problems. This thing has so many other features as well. I would suggest not to uninstall any of the HP software, for some of them have been very helpful. Overall, this was a good solid buy, and I am very happy.
