Please help me pick my new laptop

1. Budget: About $1100.

2. Screen: I highly prefer widescreen, and anything above 15" works.

3. Brands: No preference.(I hear Dell doesn't make very durable laptops, however)

4. Mobility: I will not need very much battery, but the higher, the better.

5. Durability: Durability is important. I want this thing to last at least 4 years. If it comes down to it, performance is more important, but I will not sacrifice a high amount of durability for performance.

6. Multitasking: Multiple tabs in Firefox and AIM maybe?

7. Gaming: I will be gaming with demanding(recent) games.

8. Calculations: I will not be doing any calculations.

9. Storage: I will be storing games, music, schoolwork, and possibly movies. I don't need a whole lot of storage though.

10. Optical Media:I will not be burning any optical media.

11. Operating System: Windows XP or Vista are preferred.

12. Location: United States.
Basically, I want a gaming laptop for around $1,100.
A few that I've looked at that appear to fit my needs are:
Toshiba Satellite P300-ST3712(http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/...46&coid=-35443) $850. Built to order.
HP Pavillion DV7T(http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...14&modelmenu=1) $800. Built to order.
Dell XPS M1530 (http://www.dell.com/content/products...=19&l=en&s=dhs) $800. Built to order.
Gateway P-172X (http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668148.php) $850. Built to order.
Sony FW VGN-FW390(http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...tegoryId=16154[the first option]) $840. Built to order.
Acer Aspire (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218048303658) $1,050.
Thanks ahead of time for all of your suggestions.
