Need help choosing laptop

[whizkidcat]

Your help is needed!
I am not tech savvy with computers, I only know what people tell me I need to have!!


Can you help me find a model for under $800?

I am looking for something similar to the following:

At least Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
second generation i7/i5 (or comparable AMD)
at least 6GB Ram memory upgradeable
larger than 500GB HD
Graphics card (dedicated?) good for gaming
Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth
Built-in HD webcam and microphone
as many as I can get USB 3.0 port
Memory card reader
HDMI port
Backlit Keyboard
Great battery life

Will use computer in the home mostly and a few trips a year.

HP, Toshiba?? Something I can get in the store and not wait to be shipped!!

What is the difference between the above mentioned graphics cards?
Which is more powerful?
I'm sorry I did go to the links but I could not tell what the major differences were!

I should have mentioned that I use 5 programs pretty much on a daily basis at the same time (Inkscape, Adobe Photoshop, Silhouette America's Silhouette Studio, Make the Cut, and Word. These are programs working with graphics for a cutting machine.), all while the internet is at my disposal to use frequently.

So the type of graphics card I choose will need to accommodate having all these programs open at the same time and maybe a few more like windows snipping tool and iTunes!

It's the one I can recommend with all your options. And you can get it at a competitive price.

The higher the model number the higher the performance.
The 144 shader cores and 192 bit memory bus make the GT 555M the highest performing graphics card listed.
