I am looking to get a laptop for Christmas to replace my current piece of crap. I need something to game on. Not Crysis or anything but DOOM 3, Spore, Age of Empires 3, The Sims, etc. It must be under $1,500 and I would really like it to have built in bluetooth and the video card must have at very least 256 mb of RAM. I have considered the MacBook which is perfect except that it only has Intel Integrated. It must also have good Ubuntu hardware support at I plan to dual boot XP and Ubuntu. (It's ok if it has Vista pre-installed. I plan to wipe it anyways with XP)

Not a desktop replacement. Just a video editing and gaming pc. under $1500.

Size / weight not a problem

Don't like the Dell Ubuntus but I have never heard of System 76. If anyone has any experience with them then what was it. It looks great
