Not the second one, either.  AMD's older CPUs are vast underperformers.   
 
I hate to say this because I had AMD for 10 years, but drop the AMD chips.  Aint gonna work. 
 
The main thing is look for video cards.  That's the kicker, you HAVE to have a non-onboard video card in that lappy if you want to game.  8600M GT or better.  It's not an option.

 Well, the newegg one comes with a GeForce 9100, and according to some of the reviews there, is able to play Oblivion.
And yes, mobility would be important for me as a graduate student.
