Getting a new laptop, but


I am debating on two

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834220103

and a simular one I customized at dell.

Both around the same price, the asus has alot of extra small features like a bag, card reader.

The key things they both have is 7300GS Go GPU (The dell has 256, asus 128)
Core 2 duo
1GB Ram
Plenty of space
A/G/B wireless

I have a few question though.
Is wireless N compatible with a/g/b?
Is Asus a good company for a laptop? Should I get the dell instead?
Cingular and verizon worldwide internet cards (Which one)? I have a better cingular singnal from my house.
Will the laptop support WoW?

The Dell has 1.7Ghz Core 2 Duo but the Asus has 1.66Ghz Core 2 duo
It also has double video the memory over the Asus.
But
The asus come with double the warrenty over the dell, looks cooler, and comes with alot more features like a bag, card reader, and some other stuff.

What would you choose?

If a desktop with the same specs would support WoW (which it would), the laptop would too. The only big requirement for WoW is RAM, it's not like you need an 8800GTX to play it.

Cingular usually has better service and they understand the difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents, but if you ever have to call their technical support for anything, you'll have to wait on hold for 30+ minutes. Then again, I've never actually had to call Verizon so I don't know how long their wait times are. Either way, Cingular is better overall.

As for Wireless N, I've never even heard of it.
