Personally I'd wait a few more weeks until Sandy Bridge laptops start appearing, that's what I'm doing unless you really need to grab one now of course. If I had to pick one below it would be the second, I don't like that resolution on the 15" and the 3D wouldn't be used enough to justify it.

I'm hoping to get a 15" myself as they're a lot easier to shift around than the 17" ones, hopefully the big manufacturers release one with a decent resolution.
