I"m a 3 boxer and looking to move to a notebook as my desktop is downstairs and it is a pain with wife n kids to get on. ;p

I'm looking at : http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT725-074US-17-Inch-Laptop/dp/B001N44U9E/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1249579779&sr=8-5

and http://www.sagernotebook.com/product_customed.php?pid=177856&action=customize

Wanted to know if there were any other suggestions 900-1500 budget.

Thanks.

Seems like a much better deal:

That Amazon one you have linked seems like a ripoff, unless I'm missing something.

I think the first one was a fair price. High end CPU, 4 gigs and 4850 in a lappie is not cheap.
Your suggestion is not bad and at half the price, worth that. I think I would look more for something in between the two listed.

I wouldn't buy a top of the line dual core CPU, even in a laptop. Worry about RAM, video card (and VRAM) and number of cores... for 1/2 the price it's a no brainer in my book.
