So here are what I've narrowed my choices down to (all "custom" built). I will be using the laptop for everyday use but also video editing (premiere pro).
Hp dv6tse ($1100)
Intel Core i7-720QM (1.6GHz)
6GB DDR3 (2 Dimm)
500 gb 7200 rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Sony Vaio F Series ($1250)
Intel Core i7-740QM (1.73GHz)
4GB DDR3
500 gb 7200 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce 330M GPU
What are some other options?
