Best laptop retailer? *international also*

[cwinhall]

So I am going to be investing in a good laptop for taking to photography jobs etc and I am not rich so I want to do as much research as possible before I make my purchase.

I obviously want a laptop that will be able to handle CS3 with ease. I will most likely have XP and Vista installed. So this means it will have to have 2GB minimum ram and ofcourse a fast CPU, probably intel core 2 duo, atleast 2Ghz.

I will also most likely use it to play a few games now and then, so a good graphics card is also a must.

Can anyone suggest certain models that fit this criteria?

And ofcourse, more importantly, where I can buy it from for cheap, I also am willing to buy from Hong Kong and I don't mind waiting for long delivery times!

Thanks

I'd be seriously tempted by some of the Dell machines.

oh and my budget is below £1000. Preferably between £700-£900

have a look through some of these - this place is very good and lots of people on the forum will be willing to help you out. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/cat/Laptops/subcat/Intel---Core-2-Duo

And at the moment you get a £10 discount - not much but every penny counts

Also they stock the new Santa Rosa cpus from Intel - they improve performance dramatically i've heard.
