    Hey guys so I was doing some background research and really the ATI FirePRO blew away all gpu in term of performance, and some of these nice people on NBR said get a quad core i7 with at least 6MB of cache, as they said a higher clock speed won't give u a substantial performance boost. Pretty much meaning i7 extremes are a waste of money XD

    In the quote is what my plan is to do with this lappy and the programs posted by my departments computing resources.
    So I want an ATI FirePRO M7820, so which laptop gives that GPU besides a HP elitebook 8740w? Like is it available in Canada? I want a lappy for around 2500 or so :D

    be damned sure that the people making specific hardware recommendations to you aren't projecting their personal 'wish list' in the form of a recommendation.
