Need laptop with good Nvidia graphics

[Greg S]

I am in the search for a laptop with a good fairly high end graphics card. Preferably I would like an i7 quad core with an nvidia gt 555m or better. My budget is ~$1300-1400 including the os (Win 7 Pro). I am planning on running Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver on the laptop. I will also use it for very minimal gaming. 500gb or more would be nice for a hard drive. I would only get an ssd is it is within my budget. As for RAM I would like 4gb minimum. 6-8 would be ideal. I am not really set on any brand in particular. I will gladly accept any recommendations, because I have never bought a laptop before, I have only had one through work.

(sorry for the mess)

I can't give you the link because there are several links for the Dell XPS 17 (just go to dell.com, FOR HOME, laptops and minis... you know how to search)... Also, try looking at the HP Envy 17'' laptop at hp.com


Good luck,
