I have been looking at this laptop
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16834220124
It is a G series Asus... I know this is for gaming, but I really don't need to game. I need a powerful laptop to run statistics.
I have also been looking at the Tecra's and Satellites from Toshiba in the 2ghz range with C2D processors.
The bottom line is that this laptop will need to last for at least 3 years of my PhD program. I would really like to cap my spending at $2k, but it is not a solid barrier if there is something better and I will notice a serious difference.
Do you guys have any other suggestions that I should be looking at or not looking at?
