If you had £1000 what laptop would you get?

For video editing and graphics I'd go for the Mac.

Say you liked MacBook Pro's and could get the 13in Pro, would you?
Or are there better laptops out there for ultimate PC gaming?

Need recommendations! Want a awesome gaming laptop thats fast, graphics amazing and fairly easy to take when moving?

Yep, you get that with a Mac /sarcasm.

I got the MacBook Pro and got windows on BootCamp. Running games on full settings perfectly fine!

LOL I was about to say Macbook Pro but once I read your post, I don't know what to write :/

Unless you opt for the £1,700 MacBook Pro nowadays, you're stuck on an Intel Integrated HD3000 gfx card, which won't play squat. Unfortunate really, I'd have got the £1,000 if it wasn't for that.

Yeah I bumped my budget up so I didn't get entry level MBP. So using bootcamp with Windows 7 is a big help but I'm going to see if I can use XP instead of Windows 7 as I always find that a lot better for gaming.

MacBook is really handy for my work and college as I will carry this around with me everywhere. Plus with all you can eat data on my iPhone, I can setup a hotspot wherever and have fast internet for my MBP.

Cheers though everyone, will rep+ if I can.

I'm glad it's accomplishing your gaming. I just got a MacBook Pro as well, and although it doesn't have a great graphics card it makes up for that with a lot of other things in my opinion. The awesome long battery life, multitouch and huge trackpad, magnetic charging clip, backlit keyboard, decent DPI on the screen, pretty good CPU (the i5 in mine appears to be hyper-threaded woohoo), plus it looks damn attractive and although this means absolutely nothing, it does look better then the cheap pieces of plastic garbage that a lot of companies sell off as laptops.

My Dell XPS 15 does all that (in bold) and has a decent gfx card for £629.

That's not cheaper than how much I paid for my Macbook.

Edit: to add, I am interested in the total specs of your Dell though because I was looking at Dell laptops before, if you're willing to share or have a link.
