I've been able to locate an Australian dealer of laptops (new and refurbished) and have found a treat. (I'm happy to have refurbished. Because I can guarantee it'll get in worse state in my possession
CPU Intel® Core™ i7 processor 2630QM (2.0GHz - 2.90GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 6MB L2 Cache)
Operating System Windows® 7 Home Premium (64bit)
Screen Size 15.6" Widescreen HD LED Backlit Display (1366 x 768)
Memory 4GB DDR3 (1333Mhz) (expandable to 16GB)
HDD Storage 750GB (5400rpm) SATA
Graphics NVIDIA® GeForce GT 540M w/Optimus
This laptop _SHOULD_ do what I want it to. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not the most technologically minded person, so I'm kinda relying on advice.
Cheers,
Sam.
