Hmmm... This one is quite nice for the price.

Just have to change the CPU to P9700 for a slightly better battery life and does the screen resolution matter to you? You will need an OS for the system also.

or maybe this one? The GTX260M is better than the 4650 I mentioned above. You need to upgrade the RAM and HDD in this system. If you want to, you may upgrade the CPU too. If screen resolution matters then upgrade it in this one.
