Hello everyone, I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I am having a hard time picking a laptop to meet my requirements. I figured if I could list them here, you all might have some suggestions. I will be using the laptop for software development and light game development. Here are my wants:

-1920 x 1200 resolution (very hard to find right now, 1900 x 1080 would do)
-3rd generation i-series processor (probably i5)
-Really good keyboard (best keyboard, I type a lot)
-reasonably portable (less that 7 pounds)
-some form of dedicated graphics. Doesn't need to be extreme, just enough to run the Unity engine
-I don't care about the new processors coming out in June

What laptops do you recommend? I went to some chain stores and while they have some that meet the above criteria, they are all flimsy and plasticy. I am currently using a Dell Latitude e6500 and love the robust and strong feel it has.

Thanks!
 
Do what I did and snag a used 17" mac book pro. Has an i7 Quad, nice keyboard, 1920x1200 matte screen, decent discreet graphics and when paired with an SSD and 16GB of RAM it screams. Just install windows 7 and go with it. I got mine for $500, then tossed in the SSD and RAM.
 
Yes Craigslist. I swear I wrote that part. Lol.

I got mine when the latest batch were coming out and the mac devout types HAD to upgrade.
