Do check out this if you do not mind 2nd hand laptop =D It's pretty much a worthwhile investment, just that you have to wait for shipping. http://www.adpost.com/sg/computers/10580/

I just bought a 3 month old Asus K40IN-X2-BIL.

T4400 @ 2.2GHZ
4GB DDR2 800 Ram
500GB HD
Geforce G102M 512MB DDr2 Vram
14" 720p display.

Picked it up for $450CAD on Craigslist. At that price, you can pick up a second LCD for a couple hundred and have the best of both worlds.
