My min requirements are as follows. could you please suggest which one to get and at best price point. My budget is $1200 (incl taxes). can stretch it max another 100.

i7- 3rd gen 2.3 ghz or higher
1 tb hard disk (7200 rpm)
full hd display
hd webcam
bluray
8gb ram (pls help me on this i multitask a lot)
15.6 inch screen (minimum)
dedicated graphic card (1gb min)
bluetooth 3.0 (atleast one slot)
usb 3.0 (minimum)
9 cell battery (require max time)
Good Speakers (listen to a lot of music)
weight as light as possible (but this isnt a dealbreaker)

I recommend the HP Pavilion dv7-7030us 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black)
I am almost positive it has everything you are looking for.
Best price I found is on Amazon for $937.36 with free shipping.

thanks that was helpful. i did check the link. however thats got an integrated graphic card. A dedicated graphic card is a necessity for me, i require it for coding, some graphic designing (corel, photoshop) and gaming at times.

Check if this is available at a microcenter near you (Drop down box at the top). Its basically a version of what you linked too with a 7200rpm drive.

Have a look at the Lenovo T530 - it's one of the most the most durable machines you can buy. You might have to keep an eye out for a sale to keep it within your budget, but this is a much better & longer lasting machine than the ones listed above. Twitter [twitter.com]

Saw this :

Lennovo Y480 [lenovo.com]

Use the coupon USPY4880712 to reduce the price by another $600.

Configuration I looked at . Think you can modify it further :

Quote :

• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
• NVIDIA GeForce GT640M LE 2GB
• 8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz
• 14.0" HD Glare with integrated camera 1366x768
• Industry Standard Touchpad
• 1TB 5400 rpm
• DVD Recordable (Dual Layer)
• 6 Cell Lithium-Ion
• Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200BGN
• Bluetooth Version 4.0
• One year
• Notebook
• HD 720p webcam
• HDMI (Out)

or the Y580 with USPY548712
