Neither of those are any good for cs6. Get something with an AMD card in it to take advantage of GPU processing. CS6 is not compatible with Nvida's cuda cores for this purpose.

I copied this directly from the adobe resources (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/premiere/cs6/pdfs/compatibiltiy-list-premiere-pro-cs6-only-hw-compatibility.pdf)

Note: Non Adobe-certified GPU cards for GPU-accelerated performance in Adobe Premiere Pro must
meet the system requirements below.
Windows/ Mac OS
• 1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0-compatible graphics card

dont those cards meet the requirements... PLEASE HELP!

Every laptop that I know that can upgrade to the 7970m is on backorder.
MSI GX60...http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gx60-1ac021us-p-5009.html
Would be a decent buy if it were in stock.

cs6 will still run though? just not gpu accelerated?
