I would much appreciate some help finding a new laptop. After three+ years, my Asus UL50VT is in pretty bad shape.

Budget: $500-$1,000
More specific use (what games, what programs): Diablo 3, lots of open applications
Planned time until purchase: Soon
Do you have any specific preferred components?: 15.6"
Do you need a bigger monitor? mouse? full keyboard?: Full keyboard, touch pad

Additional information that may help us assist you:

What are your preferences in case style? Sleek, thin, sexy, black
Are you planning to use multiple monitors? Yes, so need VGA
Are you looking for upgrade-ability? No
Do you have any preferred brands? Asus
Can you reuse any components from an older build? No

Thank you for your help!

Mobility is a must. I need to bring it to work, business trips, and around the house.

That Asus looks really nice. Still cheaper than my UL50VT when I bought it new. Thanks! Any other suggestions?

Can you tell me what is better about that one than this?
