I have just started college and have decided that I need a laptop for work and personal use. I am on a strict budget of 1,400 NZ, but might be able to get another $100 from somewhere.

I have looked at the Alienware m14x, but unfortunately they do not ship to NZ and are about $2000 to buy here.

If you could just provide me with different options or opinions I would be very thankful.

Note: I have been looking at the Toshiba Satellite P850/049, I have read reviews that say it the hard drive runs a bit slow, any opinions on this laptop would also be helpful.

Thanks :)

It doesn't look that way unfortunately, however I'm not to sure if I would want to get one shipped from America anyway.
One reason is I would have to get an adapter which I'm sure I could find here in NZ if I tried, but I'd rather not. That, and shipping it would be more expensive because of GST and Customs...

The Radeon 7670m is a fairly weak card. It could play some newer games on low to medium settings. It all depends on what you are trying to play.

For serious laptop gaming, I wouldn't suggest anything less than a GT 650M.
