The first one is the one under 900, I'm fairly sure it'll run BF2 since the card it has is supposedly only a tad weaker than the one I have in mine, and mine runs BF2 perfectly fine.

But, for 100 more, the second one is significantly better (in terms of graphics), though for the tasks you described, either would be fine.

Or if you do, at least get a vista disc (retail) as well. Lenovo doesn't supply one, and if you try reformatting with their recovery program, it just means that you get all their crapware again as well.

I heard the Apple iCanuck is quite good.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
