I Need a new Laptop.

Specs I need:
* i7
* 1T memory
* 8g Ram
* 2g graphics
* I used it like a desktop with large screen plugged in, so weight is not important.

Any good bargains under $1,000 around?

I do like the Toshiba L50-A01Q, and am shopping around for cheapest price, but happy to consider other brands as long as reliable.

Any help in finding best price would be appreciated.

p.s. the Toshiba L50-A01Q was lowest at $849 on 7/12/13 but I missed out then.

    Then why not buy a desktop? You will get much better specs for your dollar

      I agree but I do on occasion take the computer with me, so I'd prefer a laptop.

      Over the last few weeks I've noticed the Toshiba L50-A01Q actually go up in price which is a bugger.

      So if you do notice the Toshiba L50-A01Q or something better to meet my specs (and for the other interested members), please let me know. I'd like to get the laptop within the next 2 weeks, and would love it for this weekend.

    I'm after something like this too… as I'm a graphic designer (and gamer ;P ) and I travel a lot, interstate and overseas.
    I already have a fairly powerful desktop I built in parts from pc casegear for $1000…

    How'd you go Frugal? You end up finding a laptop?

    I did thank you suywagon.

    Dick Smith currently have the Toshiba L50-A01Q for $899, so I price matched with Harvey as they had it in stock, and DS online support were hopeless DH;s

    Now….the struggle to learn windows 8, erg.
