Any laptops with Core i7 740QM / 1920x1080 / USB 3.0?

Bought a Sony recently with Corei7 740QM / 1920x1080 / 6GB RAM / 500GB / USB 3.0 . Sent it back though as the screen was terrible.

Anyone know of any other manufacturer doing a similar spec machine?

    HP Envy?

    I have a 1st gen HP Envy 15, but now they have Envy 14 and 17 too.

    8Gb ram, Core I7 (starts from 720QM), plus dual SSD in raid if you want it. I know in the States that it ships with a decent hi res Trulife screen, but they were giving us low life Europeans a bog standard display - this may have changed.

    I dont have an SSD in mine yet, but I have seen one with an OCZ Vertex 2E in and it is seriously rapid.

    Have a look at MSI's range of Gaming laptops:

    The GT660 and GT663

    both offer i7 cpu up to 12Gb of RAM; discrete 1GB Nvidia 3D Graphics, webcam, USB 3.0 etc etc

    Review for GT660

    Review GT663

    Obviously, this level of spec comes at a price in a laptop but if that's of no concern to you then then that's your business.
