Hey guys,

I'm on the hunt for a laptop and have a max budget of $1100.

I will mainly be using my laptop for surfing and watching movies - however no doubt that I will find it usefull if it can run Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Flash nicely along with some semi-new games.

Any suggestions?

I've looked a bit myself and found the following interesting:
Acer Aspire AS5552G-7641 Notebook AMD Phenom II Quad-Core N970(2.2GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi AMD Radeon HD 6650M

However it gets warm really quick and I need to buy a cooler called:
ThermaPAK Black 15.4" HeatShift Laptop Bag Model

Not sure how cool I think that is. Seems a bit annoying having to put your laptop down into a bag to cool it down?!

ALSO looked a bit on this one:

Hey WR2 - that seems like awesome deals for the Lenovo Y570 - sadly im located in Denmark and they only ship within US.

And haven't been able to find it in any danish webshops :/
