I use a Lenovo laptop with upgraded ram, processor, and graphics card... works great. I'm not a big fan of all of the "Eye Candy" laptops that really offer nothing more than a good looking shell with cheap internal parts ... the only exception is if you use video / music editing software, then I would recommend a mac (I only use my mac for Pro Tools, and nothing more) ... So anyways, I would recommend a Lenovo and then upgrade ram, processor, and graphics card
