Need laptop suggestions

[maingon360]

I am looking for a laptop around 1100. I have a powerful desktop so this is something I could use to work on stuff when I am away.

I need something that I could use Zbrush, Xsi, 3ds max, after effects, Nuke, photoshop etc.
so far I been looking at

Dude I work at Geek Squad and I must say stay the **** away from those laptops. Get an Asus, or a Dell XPS.

there's always a sale on dell pcs ;p
At work , when I order from dell, they throw in pcs for free if it's a large number.

I have a dell XPS M1330 , vista 64bit and 4gb ram , on which I use Zbrush during break at work.
It runs rather well, the only problem i've had was the geforce 8400, apparently it's an nvidia chip that isn't suited for laptops, it has costs nvidia a lot of money, because not only Dell used them. I got artifacts all over the place so Dell had to come and replace my motherboard, no problems anymore.

The screen is a bit small for Zbrush work though and I'm not sure if it's my monitor or the dell causing this, but when i connect the laptop through VGA on an external monitor , there's a slight constant flicker on the monitor.
