ahh, i might suggest this then: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-m11x-...x?ref=M11x
i just bought this and i'm really happy with it. $1000 stock, $1800 will get you an intel core i7 at 1.5ghz (2.6ghz with turboboost), with a 2GB geforce gt 540M, 8GB of ram (16gb will run you $900 more), and a 256GB SSD instead of a 750GB HDD. that swap in hard drive accounts for about $500 in price. it's netbook size, with an 11" screen, and it's extremely portable at about 5~ pounds. there's also a 14", 17", and 18" model, and of course going up in size increases the performance options.
