My best recommendation is STAY AWAY FROM ANY laptop that has an INTEGRATED Intel chipset graphics solution, not only will it suck in the short term, but you'll be hating it if you wanna do much of anything BEYOND web surfing, and dvd watching. For your pricepoint however, you'll most likely end up with a 9200 from nvidia, or a 4200 solution if you see any mid range products (4650, 9600, etc 'd look at those deals far more closely.

Also, don't believe EVERYTHING the store guy tells you, and if it's that lowcost an extended warranty MAY NOT be a bad idea.

hope it helps.

Is it my imagination or is that site/post SPAM?

That site looks like spam, maybe so best buy can sell their anti-malware software, wouldn't surprise me.
