Sorry to bother with yet another one of these lol, but was hoping to get an oppinion on 3 laptops for starcraft 2 gaming, movies and general tasks. I'm not expecting everything to be ultra ofcourse but curious if any of these would manage to run the game in high settings reasonably.

Gateway NV5909H $699.95 cad

Basically as many have mentioned before the gateway seems like a great bang for your buck, but i thought the other 2 were relatively good deals as well granted their larger desktop replacement models. I do take the pc out occasionally but it mainly stays home. Will the gateway still fair well against the other two or is the $100-$200 price quite justified? If minimal differences in performance and game play i'd prefer the budget priced gateway. Any input is appreciated thankyou!
