Laptop with dedicated graphics

by Ethr • 25 Jan 2011, 13:41 • Journals
Hello,

Because I have alot of gaps between lectures next semester I'm looking to get a new laptop. However, because of one of my courseworks uses nvidia CUDA (for programming on a GPU) I need a laptop with an nvidia graphics card.

At the moment the best deal I can find is a Dell XPS 15 for £549 but I was wondering if anyone on crossfire knows where I could get a better deal?

thanks

Ive got a macbook pro, its pretty usefull for school but also the graphics for games like cod 4 and stuff are pretty good :)
School finances it if i will graduate, but buying it for a student is pretty expensive so.

What specifications are you looking for? Like minimum screensize/ram/processor etc other than the nVidia card requirement. Can't really say a better deal when we don't know the specs of the Dell XPS15 either since they are customizable after all.
