      First off, let me say thank you to everyone who contributes/posts to this site. I have learned alot from you all. I am looking to buy a laptop for sketchup, photoshop, kerky, and some occasional autocad.(when forced to use it) Currently I am running a five yr old dell desktop with 4 gig and a decent graphics card. I would prefer a desktop, but actually need a laptop. With that being said, I am looking to get some better rendering speed out of a machine. I have been looking at dell m4500, xps 16, hp elite book. My main problem is the wife wants to keep it under 2000, but I am willing to go closer to 3000. Any suggestions? Is it worth going to the intel 820 over the 720? What about an SSD harddrive. Please help. This money is burning a hole is my pants. Thanks

      Thanks,
      Leo Breault

        You might also look at the m6500 -- that'll get you to 3K in a hurry. I have m6400 and it's quite a machine.
