| I personally use a MSI GX640.
Fantastic graphics card and 9-cell battery, with a sexy 15'4 inch screen. Extremely affordable at only $1100 USD, IIRC.
Only problem is you could fry an egg on the motherboard once it gets going, and the fan whirrs like crazy trying to keep up with the temperature. Buying an external cooler helps immensely though.

| I can do 1.5K and under
Im a bit skeptical about that Samsung one, considering I've never heard of Samsung laptops. O__o But the specs on it are amazing so hmm
And how would I go about buying either of these in Melbourne? | |

| There's one in Heidleberg (where I got my laptop), one in Richmond, West Melbourne and in Essendon. They have a crapload of laptops on their website, so have a look and you may find one better than I suggested.
