Sorry I mixed it up in the quote there.

Seen as how I'm a noob I don't know how to but considering it. Don't fully understand what it actually does. Also I don't think I would do it and would probably pay someone to, although if it ain't that hard I will give it a crack but don't want to break anything.

Sorry for continually posting about laptop reccomendations. I'm taking everything into consideration. I just have serious buyers remorse and I want to have as many options as possible. With that out of the way,

Budget & Currency: $700 USD (not including taxes/shipping)

Screen Size: 14+ inches

Software: Photoshop, Sony Vegas, C4D. Maybe the occasional Minecraft game.

Details: I'm willing to buy refurbished or used. I'd love for it to be portable but it isn't a major need. SSD would be cool but I understand it would be hard to fit it in this kind of budget.

I'll be recommending a lot of Thinkpads, in case anyone was wondering. Here's a refurbished (the outlet has good refurbs, too) T420 with a solid i5, a 1600 x 900 screen, and an Nvidia Quadro workstation graphics chipset. Only 2GB of RAM, but with RAM as cheap as it is, upgrade it to 8 for under $40.

These don't last long at all, so if you're not buying VERY soon, I'll find you another one. I recommend Thinkpads because of their unbeatable build quality, cooling, features, durability, keyboards, reliability, upgrade-ability, and battery life. They're not huge, either. Just business-class awesomeness.

Budget & Currency:300 GBP

Peripherals & Monitor:None

Games:Only enough to play Call of Duty WaW

Software:Everything like Cinema4D, Sony Vegas Pro 11.0 And Adobe Photoshop CS5

Aesthetics:Anything. Preferably a gaming case would be nice.

You won't need to pay someone to overclock your CPU, and you won't be at risk of breaking any components. Overclocking increases the speed of the CPU with the expense of an increase in power usage and temperature, so as long as you have the right amount of wattage in your PSU and a CPU cooler that can control the temperature you'll be fine. Just watch a guide on YouTube about how to overclock and you'll understand, it's very simple.

You get an Nvidia GT 630M with Optimus meaning you'll be able to game pretty well, and still have great battery life, watch out with workstation GPU's because they don't always game too well.

Plus it pretty much fits your other requests. And for a bit more money you can upgrade it to a pretty nice CPU.

I went with a workstation card because if I'm not mistaken, it will help him with the applications he uses. For gaming, haha, no. Minecraft will run fine on it, though, in my experience.

The way I see it is that most people on TTG don't really require workstation cards as they're usually nowhere near professionals, and the GT 630M still supports CUDA acceleration so he'll still support that. Plus he'll get a new CPU too. Either works fine though.
