Im still not sure however, if I could build a much better system for the price of what TDW suggested I may go with getting one built (I have a friend that builds them) I mean figure Ill get paid for bootcamp (2.5 months long at about 500 every half month) and Ill get out of boot with just over $2,000 USD which Im sure would be perfect to buy whatever I want (Laptop or computer wise).

Laptops are outdated ~ 3 months after you buy it. Just the way it is with technology always on the move. A custom built system will always outperform the best laptop anyday and usually can be built for cheaper also. I have about $3k in my home system but that's because I want something that screams - when I click I don't want to have to wait for something to load. I've been building computers for over 18 years and I have to say that SSDs make any build scream. I slipped an OCZ SSD into my Qosmio laptop and it was a night and day difference. That (SSD) coupled with the Intel I7 CPU in the laptop screams - boot times are faster than my home system (2 X Raptop 150s in RAID 0). I'm waiting for the new Bulldozer core to come out from AMD then I'll be building a brand new home system. This new build is gonna rock
