Hi
I would like to replace my current Gigabyte P35W laptop with a 15" machine for my work as an IT Pro / Developer. Anyway, one the issues is I am not a gammer ( yes I know very sad!) ,so I want a high spec machine but without the humongous graphics card and the other overspeced things I don't need. Now, I think the spec below is close to what I want, as all my money would go on things in the laptop I need but I do have a few concerns overall:

Now, I think the spec below is close to what I want, as all my money would go on things in the laptop I need but I do have a few concerns overall:
- Is the on board graphics card capable of rendering video if not I am stuck with it
- Again is the onboard sound card like compared to the dedicated sound cards
- is the keyboard good for touch typing - I did have a Vortex III which was like typing on a brick and also the keys were in weird places . That said, the display was amazing.
- Power connector - does it stay in . The vortex power lead needed to be super glued to say in!
