Laptop Suggestions?

[Panzer88]

I am looking to buy a new laptop in the $700 to $900 price range. I doesn't have to be state of the art but I want it to have an Nvidia or ATI graphics card as apposed to an integrated intel chip. Also looking at something that was manufactured post Windows 7 launch and most likely a Core i3 or Core i5 processor but I'm open to suggestions.

Basically anything you guys think is the best deal for the money, let me know. I have to purchase it fairly soon because my dad is buying my current one to use when he is visiting my dying aunt.

Thanks for the help!

preferably a 15 inch screen or larger, also why does that laptop have an nvidia graphics card and an intel one?

the i3 comes with a graphics core on die.

NVidia has some interesting/decent power switching tech... as far as I know anyways.

Anything is better than Intel's graphics anyways... most of the time.
