Can anyone recommend a really great laptop for graphics (Illustrator/Photoshop, etc.) and gaming for around 1300 USD?

Thanks!

How does this look it has 8gb ram, an 860m and an i7 so you get 4 cores.

Excellent laptop, but perhaps I should outline a few absolute requirements that I have first, though:

- 15.6" Full HD (minimum screen size) but preferably 17" inches
- 250 (minimum) SSD HD (a must-have!)
- 8GB High Performance RAM

That's basically what I can remember off-hand.

Thanks, btw!

what about this then?

change the primary hdd to a 250gb ssd if you scroll down you will see it, also you can increase your ram too 12 or 16 gb if you want to it's still in budget.
