question: Can anybody recommend a great lap top geared specifically for heavy recording usage and video editing around $800 or less USD?

Here's my current set up

laptop: http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15-n5030/pd

interface: http://tascam.com/product/us-144mkii/

external hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148503&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Hard+Drives+-+External-_-Seagate-_-22148503

extra hardware/gear/stuff that use up my laptop's power: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665774418

and a typical Targus chill mat (USB powered) but i can't find a link

OS: Windows 7 64bit

Main Programs frequently used: SONAR x1 (daw)

Adobe cs5 Premiere and Aftereffects, Photoshop 7

google chrome

this is what I'm choosing so far. not a computer person, i just know that more RAM and GB and a higher processor speed is "good."

concerning why i'm not just considering a desktop? I'm intrigued by Prophetik's custom builds because apparently many people say he's the shit,

but I'd like to stick with mobile, lap top recording for the next year or so (until I move into a better place with more room).

Here you go:

1. Start here at Lenovo.com direct store

2. Select second from right-most model IdeaPad Y470 Laptop - 085525U - Dusk Black, click Customize & Buy button under it

3. Click Review, Add to cart

4. Apply coupon code USPY425922 during checkout (leave no space at the start/end)

Don't get a 17.3" inch if you're concerned about portability. It's really big.

Don't get a Dell either. The amount of bloatware they put on their computers is... well... bloaty.
