Well right now i am looking for a laptop under 3k, I wanted to go for a MAC but ive been told that Macs are not good for gaming, what I use the computer for is for Graphic Design, CAD programs, Maya, other major 3D programs (Mac gets a plus) and also for gaming now that's where i get confused, not sure what to go for. And the video card must be top of the notch since the majority of the software that i used require a good one. I checked out iBuyPower and made this set up
