$1100-ish gaming/business laptop?

Hello ,
I would need a business laptop with gaming capabilities ( not a gaming beast ) with a price around 1100$.
I have considered the new ThinkPad T500 with Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 and the MSI627GT
, which is more of a gaming notebook so i'm not inclined to get one.

The laptop's size would be from 15" to 17".
I would travel around alot with it , so i need good battery life and not too much weight, as well as a roomy hard drive (160-250GB) with fast speeds (7200rpm).

I do have one requirement: The laptop should have a qwertz (CH-FR) keyboard. If it doesn't , how can one replace a keyboard in the laptop ?

Hello
So , the thinkpad T500 has these :


-Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4 Ghz 3MB cache;
-15.4 WXGA , w/ CCFL;
-ATI Mobility Radeon w/ 256 MB
-250 GB HD , running at 7200 rpm.
-3 GB RAM @ 1067 Mhz

And the MSI laptop has these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] _-34152095
