Well this one has a 256mb gfx card so is better (iam right in thinking the zoostorm is dedicated), the brand is not as good i have asked on several forums about this and no one seems to know anything

the lenovo has bluetooth, faster processor, webcam

the zoo storm has card reader + 3 weeks wait

I think if you are wanting a relatively cheap gaming laptop as well as having the power to do pretty much anything else, the zoostorm is the best to go with, just take a look at the below benchmarks of the graphics cards, the zoostorm's x1600 scores very highly and it is also dedicated memory.

The three week wait is a bit of a downer though admittedly.

there is that one too :S http://www.pcpro.co.uk/buyer-reviews/90583/lenovo-3000-n100.html?searchString=lenovo+n100

thats the one i saw in the first place. There are quite a fw different n100 models, so i guess it depends which one they received

I think that spec is wrong on that website as I cannot see a 256mb x1600 on there only a 128 x1600, but even so it is still a better card by the comparisons.

the two downers on this review are the single core processor (the ops one is duo core) the design is the issue and it is true they are a bit 80s
