Best Buy Future Shop: Dell 15.6" Laptop w/Intel Core i7-2670QM, 500GB HD, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GT 525M $699.99 Future Shop: Dell 15.6" Laptop w/Core i7 $699.99
get this dealIf you're looking for a laptop upgrade, Future Shop has a pretty good deal on a 15.6" notebook that you might want to take a look at. Featured in this week's flyer, they have the Dell 15.6" Laptop with Intel Core i7-2670QM, 500GB HD, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GT 525M for $699.99 -- a great price for a computer with these specs and one that should be able to handle heavy multitasking and gaming.
Despite the title saying the processor is a 2670M, some forum posters have confirmed this is a 2670QM model which means this is a second-generation quad-core i7 processor. The hard drive isn't as large as we'd have liked but there's a decent amount of RAM and the GT 525M is a 1GB dedicated graphics card that should be able to handle most games on low-medium detail settings with no problem. At 6 pounds and average battery life, we'd be weary to recommend it to daily commuters but, for the price, it's an easy buy for those with minimal travel and who always have an outlet nearby.
The laptop is currently sold out online but they're still available in-store. We'd call before rushing into a store though, as the online stock isn't always the most reliable piece of information.
The deal ends on Thursday.

I agree with others that the resolution is a bit disappointing for a high-end (in terms of processor) laptop.

That is a hot deal. Dell.ca can't touch that price and you can also add Microsoft Office Home and Student for $99. I've been looking for one for my business and pulled the trigger when I saw this deal. Thanks OP!
The CPU, RAM, etc. are all up to those tasks but I can tell you that the screen resolution will feel cramped for the CS applications. Not as huge a deal if you do occasional work on the laptop screen and use an external monitor at your desk though. Not sure what the colour and contrast is like on this panel but I wouldn't be super hopeful in this price range.
Would this computer be good for photoshop, indesign, illustrator and maybe some light video editing?
I typically work on a Mac at school and so I'm not really sure what would be suitable for a windows laptop.
Don't know why these new lappy are such low rez. No wonder everyone was going crazy on kijiji for my 4 year old Dell Core2Duo with 1050P rez

Inspiron R15 same processor and vid card with a targus bag and a 1 tb hd is 799 @ dell. maybe if there was a coupon, it would be more interesting for people. Don't know if you have to add $ to have it black on dell though.
OOS now though
