Best 17" Notebook?

Hey guys!

Planning on buying a 17" laptop with a dedicated graphics card (geforce 9600+ or ati 4570) and a p8600 (or similar or better).

Any ideas?

Do you guys think the prices will drop a lot for back to school?

Best is likely one of the high-end HP or Dell units, ie: a Dell Precision M6400 (starting price = $4k).

Seriously though, why do you want a 17" laptop and how much money are you looking to spend? Why don't you buy a nice 24" LCD, and a laptop that's actually small enough to use as a laptop?

And what's with the crazy video card requirements; you do realize that those things really kill battery life, eh?
