First off, my budget is around a 1000 usd :(

I would have more but I just spent more than that on the desktop I built.

I need a laptop that can handle using Adobe master suite cs4 and Maya. I am a student, if you haven't figured that out by now! :pt1cable:

I am not sure what these programs need the most. It just seems that I need as much speed as I can get.
I was thinking about just buying a laptop with 4gb ram then upgrading that myself. I am assuming a 500gb 7200rpm hdd should be fine. I am really confused as to what video card I should look for as I have no idea what hardware resources these programs tax the most.

I am not an AMD or INTEL purist, just looking for the best in this price range....Any help is appreaciated!

Well I want a 1080p capable monitor just in case I add blu ray. Who knows if that will be possible because of all the hdcp stuff.

Anyways, I would like to game on it, but that is not a priority as I know 1k usd isnt alot for a laptop.
