Laptop for Designer

[Justchillu]

I'm in college studying illustration and graphic design. Most of my work is digital and I'd like a nice laptop to work on projects while I rip around town. Most of my work is done in Adobe's Creative Suite, but I also dabble in 3D with Cinema4D and 3D Studio Max. I'll often have Photoshop, Illustrator and either InDesign or Cinema4D open while I'm working on a project, with a browser and spotify for music.
The display is pretty important, I need to see really crisp lines and true colors since my work depends on it. I do some light gaming, but nothing too serious.

I'm looking at the ASUS G53SX-NH71 and the Samsung Series 7 at the moment from suggestions from friends, but I'd like to hear what you all thought.

Consider the Sager NP9130 or the NP9150.

Seems sort of random and biased considering you're obviously have some sort of connection to Sager. Could you explain why?

[Prasad]

Sorry, no connection whatsoever. Just another very happy customer... just like these guys and their reviews.
