Customize to your delight. I love my 1520. Just put a 9300 in it, I have 160GB (or SSD depending) and a 8400GS, the 8600GT is a capable gaming card. I'm not sure what they have in them now
If you want a better then look at the XPS line.

Re: lookin for a lappy
they can have a ATI HD3450 in the studio 15 at best
and an HD3650 in the studio 17
this is what i have stumbled upon
i havent searched through the XPS line, but i think it may get too pricey if i do

Re: lookin for a lappy
Might check out some ODMs like Clevo and Compal. They're only available through resellers usually but when you know which chassis the laptop is based on it's a lot easier to find a great deal. Also if you find a notebook you really like most resellers will tell you the ODM if you ask nicely

You can always get a Gateway P-6860 FX. It was on sell at Best Buy for 1089 but its back up to 1349. I heard its very easy to upgrade the CPU. I just picked up a 6831 for 900 on ebay.
