I'm in the market for a new laptop, I primarily want it for gaming but i'm inevitably goin to have to do some intensive matlab and C programming on it for work (image processing). I only have a budget of about 800 to spend on it though, I mainly play source games (L4D2, TF2) but i'd like the option of playing some RTS games since I play in a lot of lan games with friends and don't like lugging the desktop around with me.

I had a look at the Dell XPS 15 (L502x) range of laptops and they seem fairly decent spec, a dedicated GT540M graphics card and a sandybridge i5 2410. If anyone could direct me towards a better deal then this though i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks
