I like the ASUS Eee cloudy suggested. Also, the AO522 has decent graphics especially for the price. I'd give the Dell Vostro V13 a look also. It's in the price range, the graphics are not as good as the AO522 with Integrated Intel® 4500MHD Graphics Media Accelerator. It's a 13 in screen, 4 GB...

For your specs, I like the HP Pavilion dv6T Select Edition. 15.6 in screen, 2.53 Intel i5 dual core, 6 GB, and 640 GB RAM. Even has the blu-ray R/W. Graphics aren't incredible, but decent with 1 MB dedicated, 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 switchable graphics. I have an HP myself, love...

I'm a big fan of the Sony VAIO EB, starting at around $650. It has the i5-460M you were looking for at 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM, and 500 GB storage. Should be plenty to run smoothly and be adequate for your storage needs, since you have the other 500 backup. I think its a reasonable price...

For those specs, I like the Toshiba Portege R705-41. It's got the 13.3 in screen, real small and lightweight, i5 processor 2.53 GHz Intel® Core, 4 GB RAM and 500 GB storage. Also has an internal DVD burner. Might be worth a look. I also like the Dell XPS 14, which is similar, a little cheaper...

I've always been a fan of HPs. I think they have got a lot better over the years, especially with their build quality, finish, and hardware. Just my opinion though. I have had good experiences with ASUS also, no problems here. Kevin Windows Outreach Team

Going to get a truly high powered machine with great graphics for that price. Like JackNaylor said, you might want to bump the price up for $1200 for something a little more serious. In your price range you can look at the iBUYPOWER Battalion Touch CZ-10. 2.53 GHz Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Mobile...

How about the Samsung QX410. It's small, lightweight at 14' inch screen and 4.7 lbs. 640 GB storage, which is about 3 times more than you wanted, and i5 processor. It also has a 512 MB dedicated graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 310M graphics. Might be worth a look at least. Good luck on your...

Try looking at the iBUYPOWER Battalion Touch CZ-10. Fits most of your wants, and is similar to the Lenovo you were looking in most of the specs, the video card is not as good, but may be worth a look. Kevin Windows Outreach Team

You can check out the Alienware M11x. It's little, 11.6 screen, 1.3 GHz Intel Core 2 duo su7300, and 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM. To be honest, it might be a little hard getting those high intense graphics under $700. This one has a 1024 MB Dedicated graphics Video card, and NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M...

There is a 13.3 in. Acer Aspire Timeline 3810t that might be worth a look. It carries a 1.4 GHz 1.4GHz Intel® Core™ 2 Duo SU9400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, and 500 GB of storage. This should be enough since you say you keep everything on external drives. I think this would be able to do everything...

How about the Acer Aspire 7552? It has screen big enough at 17.3 (1600x900) HD, 500 GB storage (twice as much as your requirement), Blu-Ray R, and a dedicated graphics card (1000 MB Dedicated graphics card, ATI Mobility Radeon™ 5650). Processor is a 2.1 GHz AMD with 4 GB RAM. It's a little...

Hello there. I think Sony's a great machines, mine last one lasted for years. What do you think about the Sony VAIO F? It might be a little over the price range $1119, but may be worth it. That's the only downside. On the positive, it has 500GB storage, just about what you were looking for...

Hi there. This is Kevin. I'd like to say that the posts I reply to have been helpful, and engaging to the user. I take into account all the specs users are looking for and give responses and recommendations as to what I believe would be make a good suggestion. People have different opinions...

I have 3 suggestions. The first is the ASUS U43JC Bamboo at $999. It has Blu-Ray R, and an i5 processor. Here are the specs: Screen 14" WXGA (1366x768) HD Processor 2.4 GHz Intel® Core™ i5-450M Processor RAM 4 GB DRAM 1066 MHz Storage 500 GB HDD 5400 RPM Operating system...

Hey, I found 2 suggestions that will be within your budget. The first is the Samsung QX410 at $799. Overall, a great machine. Here are the specs: Screen 14" (1366x768) HD Processor 2.53 GHz Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 460M (3 MB) RAM 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz Storage 640 GB HDD 5400 RPM...
