    Lenovo Y460 w/ i5-520m and 5650 is about $700 at their outlet. I wonder if I've neglected that laptop in my hunt. I just remember reading about all kinds of overheating problems with that machine.
    Acer 4820TG - i5-480m, HD 5650 - $675 - two and half years old, starting to feel old, maybe just need an SSD

    Possible upgrades - LG 900p screen, Momentus XT

    Next laptop (2013?): 14" 900p screen, BR-RW, ATI 8xxx series dGPU w/ 2GB GDDR6 ram, 6-core AMD or Haswell, 8GB DDR4 ram, 1 TB SSD, 6 MP 1080p webcam, Lightpeak + USB 3.0, 16 hrs battery, <4 lbs

    Thanks for the rep. I'm waiting for my battery to get fully charged, then I'll try to flash to 1.18 from 1.13.

    I've heard that it runs hot but does not throttle. You should give it a look. I hate the look of it. The shell is cheap plastic with that Lenovo modern art design on the cover. UGH! Plus, with the I5/4820TG selling for $799, I would go with the Acer still.

    I wonder if that will cure the throttling of the I3, which we believed originated from the IGPU thermal bridge.
