    wait if you can; Haswells are coming.
    Haswell is a new processor architecture that promises huge leaps in performance and battery life.

      "Haswell is a new processor architecture that promises huge leaps in on-board graphics performance and battery life. And an insignificant increase in CPU performance as compared to Ivy Bridge"

        Which means Haswell is ideal for laptops.
        So SpaceNinjas point still stands.

          Yea ofcourse… I was just "elucidating". ;)

          Haswell is built keeping mobile platforms in mind.

    I would suggest looking at Dell's refurbished computers as well ([http://www1.ap.dell.com/au/en/dfo/df.aspx?refid=df&s=dfo&~ck=bt[(http://www1.ap.dell.com/au/en/dfo/df.aspx?refid=df&s=dfo&~ck…)). They come with the same warranty as a brand new computer.

    Earlier this week I was looking at a laptop there that had 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD and a GT650m for $799. I almost bought it myself, but it was a 17" monitor and I don't want anything bigger than a 15".
