    looks pretty good, although it may be a tad bit overpriced for what you are getting.

    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152087 try this one.

    otherwise:

    thats probably you're best bet. the msi gt725 075. if you cant purchase from xotic pc, just google that, or msi gt 725, as there is another cheaper model, but only by a few hundred dollars. it has an ati hd4850 which is one of the best single card gpu solutions on the market right now. and it can be overclocked quite easily with msi's oc'ing tool. (oc'ing is supported by the warranty)

    that laptop can also be very good.

    so overall id say those 2 are the better option. they have better build quality, overclocking options, easy upgradeability and good support as well as good specs at a cheap price.

    The M70 an excellent laptop, especially for multimedia, I have the M70Vn-C1, runs exceptionally cool, even with 7200 drives, little or no fan noise and a terrific screen.
