I5/i7 w/ USB 3.0 Support

Forum Laptops & Notebooks : General Discussion I5/i7 w/ USB 3.0 Support

Word :    Username :           
 

I'm looking for a new laptop for college next year, but I'm undecided whether to go with the i5 or the i7. USB 3.0 support is a must, but I can't find a huge selection of laptops that support it.

Musts:
i5/i7 Processor
500GB HDD
4GB DDR3 RAM
Dedicated card
USB 3.0 Support

Here's the only one I've found so far:

I'd like to keep the price range around $1k, nothing like $1.5k if possible.

If you have any laptops to suggest, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

The Asus you have there seems like a pretty good deal in my opinion. USB 3.0 isn't very common yet in desktops or laptop, but should be more common place by the end of the year (in my opinion). If you hold out until say, the end of summer, you may have a bigger selection of laptops with USB 3.0, but like I said, the Asus seems like a decent deal.

Can you access TH on your smart phone?
