Laptop - Power over portability

Tikkat3

Hi All,

I recently went shopping for a new laptop but was a bit over whelmed by the latest range of processors, Graphics cards and like as both my PC and Laptop are around 3 years old and the choice was more limited.

I saw an Acer online second hand from 950 to 550 and was tempted or should I save and get something like a macbook for around 900+? my brother swears by his.

Ideally I want as much processing power and graphics for applications like CAD, Photoshop CS2, gaming and BR movies, a tall ask I know but I dont want to spend more than 600 as I need to purchase ASAP and dont have time to save the extra if I can avoid it.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I know these questions have been asked in different guises before so my apologies for repeating.

Going to try Harvey Normans, Curries and DELL over the next 24 hours.

Thank you!

There was a gaming laptop advertised on this forum, make sure the graphics card is at least 200meg vram,video ram.
the dell 17 looks good in your price range,
see http://ireland.dell.com/ie/en/home/Laptops/studio-1747/pd.aspx?refid=studio-1747&s=dhs&cs=iedhs1&ref=lthp
would it not be easier buy a separate blue ray player.

Thanks ricman,

Must have missed the advertised one!

Going to give a good look at the DELL. As for the Blue ray player, I really just wanted good enough screen resolution more than the player itself as I will buy one in the future.

Thanks for your help.
