Need laptop help fast !

[laptopnovice]

Looking to buy a laptop by tomorrow AM, (birthday present). $700.00 max. Will be used for general purpose as well as photo and video editing. Think I need 1600X900 res and decent graphics card w/ dedicated memory.

Looking at the Acer Aspire AS7741G-6426 for $650.00. 17.3" display, AMD Radeon HD 7660M w/ 1G DDR3 VRAM, i5 480M 2.66mhz, Can't find anything in price range better. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for any advise.

Find something with a sandy bridge chip (hint. it will have a 4 number code XXXX not a 3 number like the 480m). You will get a lot less heat output and a lot more battery life if your laptop can turn off the graphics chip when you are not using it.

Thank you puppies04 but you have not helped. Give me an example of a better deal for the bucks. You give and you get with economy computers... I do see 480m rates less than 2410M or 2430M but i am hoping the graphics and resolution outway the lesser resolution and slightly less bench test on the chip. I am looking or one or two alternatives that match my choice!
