i need a new laptop in the next week and and i have narrowed down my choices to dell xps 15/ hp dv6-6016tx,6017tx/sony vpca and acer 5750 . i am a moderate gamer (nfs,fifa,gta) but do a lot of video editing and internet surfing and hd movie downloading and viewing . there is one catch in all the models that is holding me back :

acer : it has second gen i5 , usb 3.0 , but ram is limited to 2gb and no graphics card . but it is way too cheap to be ignored , 33,000. launched on 3rd may 2011.

hp : they have the same config as above but with beats audio and 4gb ram and a graphics card ati 6490 ddr5 for 6016tx and ati 6670 ddr5 for 6017tx with an i7 processor .
6016tx-48k
6017tx-51k

dellxps : the only thing stopping me from buying this is the lack of a vga port ,as i connect it to my lcd to watch movies and in my hospital for making presentations, i dont know if the hdmi port can do the same function with a projector.

sony : VPCCB15FG : C Series : VAIO™ Laptop & Computer : Sony India
also it matters to me whether two ram chips of 2 are installed or one of four gb . as when i update the former , one 2gb chip will go to waste as there are only two slots.

thanks in advance

my budget is around 55k , all the people i know are saying dell as they say the customer service is better . so i am pretty confused . going to buy tomorrow so hope i make the right decision . i have had 3 acer laptops in the past and they all are working fine but i dont want to go for it again as i want change it a little bit . i7 processor at 51k looks really tempting ? what to do ?
