Laptop under 750 3ds max, photoshop, starcraft II

[ryanavolpi]

Can anyone suggest a good laptop, refurbished or on sale, for under 750? I'll be using it a small bit for games like battlefield play4free/ heroes and Starcraft II but mostly for things like 3ds max, auto cad, and Photoshop. The most important thing to me is the CPU but I would also like a good graphics card. I was hoping for a processor around the i5-2500k. Portability is not a concern but a desktop will not work. 8gb of ram would be nice too. Thanks for the help.

P.S. If i'm being unrealistic, feel free to point that out 😀

Hello ryanavolpi;

Maybe something along these lines? Dell XPS 17 Intel 2nd Gen Core i5 2.3GHz Laptop w/2-year warranty $750
Core i5-2410 2.3GHz CPU, 6GB RAM, 640GB 7200rpm HDD, 17.3" 1600x900 LCD w/ Geforce GT 550M graphics.

Well, I was hoping for a faster processor and more ram but that looks like a good deal. If I can't find anything else then that would be good. I'm periodicly checking slickdeals but no luck so far.

I only looked on newegg. The refurbished has no os so I would suggest a student copy if you get that one. I would suggest an i7 even if you have to lower the gpu.
