the higher end models have dedicated GFX cards as far as I can remember.

the highest end one I see has HD3000 graphics, which suck for what he needs.

the XPS15 has GT540, which is a decent little card as long as you dont OC it any and run it on top of a AC vent. (personal experience).

I would look at a Asus, MSI, or other "gaming" laptop with a Dedicated HD5870/HD6770m or higher or a GTX460/GTX560m or higher.

Is that for America? Must be different then, cause i'm looking straight at the AU site, and it says it can be optioned to have a GeForce 525M.

in america you have to get a XPS or business class to get a dedicated card. (not counting Nvidia ION on some netbooks).
