Thomas, Steve, or Patrick

I already texted Thomas and Steve but this goes towards Patrick too.
I'd prefer to square it all away in the morning if it's something worth while, but for those who don't know, it's "Cyber Monday", which means online deals continue on for Sunday (already gone) and Monday (Today now!).
Chantal has been looking to buy a laptop and we've had a couple decent looking deals but I'm a bit wary about dropping 400-500 bucks when I don't know squat about laptops and I'm not the most computer savvy. What we're looking for is preferably something that is 15+ inches on the monitor and can play Warcraft as well as other games. Drive space doesn't seem like a huge issue, but we've seen some laptops as low as 40GBs, my guess would be that we want around 100+.
Steve points out don't go for an integrated graphics card (I'm not too sure how to check for that).
Thomas suggests at least 2GB of ram (seems easy enough to find) and a strong graphics card. Should I be comparing a laptop graphics card to my desktop, or do they have their own tiers of graphics cards?
Is what I'd consider the best deal I've found. It's 15.6 inches, 4GBs of ram, and 320GB of hard drive space with a ATI Radeon HD 3200.
There also seems to be quite a few deals on Newegg still going on, but I'm not sure which would be exactly best.
Newegg seems nice because it actually tells me which ones are integrated and not. This one seems good:

If anyone is free in the morning to chit-chat, lemme know. Post here or text me, let's get our buy on!!
