Need new laptop 17" or bigger...which one?
 

Figured I would ask some non-sales people this question.

I'm in the market for a new laptop and wondering what I should be looking at.

I have had a Mac for many years and I love it but the screen is toast, fans are dead, cant run the new OS....its time for a new one.

I have considered getting another Mac but the only one I want would cost me close to $4000....for a laptop I can not justify that kind of price.

Here is what I use my computer for.

Photo editing/video editing
Writing
Surfing the internet
Music

These are the main things I use my laptop for. I need something that will run programs like Photoshop CS5 without being slow. I also need something with substantial storage as I keep all photos and videos on the hard drive.

It must have a 17" screen or larger....larger is prefered.

Can you guys recommend me some brands or models I should be looking at to fit my needs.

my work got me a Dell e6520,

I love it, havent had a better laptop yet

Do you need it to be portable?

If not so much... Asus G74. Beastly laptops.

Asus G74-3DE - more expensive, top of the line model.
ASUS G74-XC1 - less expensive version.

Even the less expensive one is still a beast.

Asus best laptops.

Buy my g73sx :)

go to ncix.ca or go to the store to ask for their advice... Most likely asus would be ur best bet... I own g53jw-a1 gaming laptop. But imo battery life sucks.
