At even DOUBLE that price, you would not be able to find a laptop that has those specifications!

As the other's said, though if you do find such a laptop, let us know where ;)

The main problem you have for this price is the 680m - the cost of this card alone, in mobile form, is going to shock you!

A great way for you to get a head's-up on cost would be for you to check out a couple of custom builder sites. Just plug in your chosen specs and check out the total cost. Of course, custom builds do tend to be a wee bit more expensive.

You'd be far better investing this money in a desktop, if portability is not urgent (you need to pay much, much more for a laptop to get the same power as a desktop).
