Default Laptop for work

My bro just got a new job and he needs to get a work laptop fast. He will be doing a little travel, so no bigger than 15.4, he will use MS Vizio and MS Office every day and some Photoshop too. He will be doing lots of video conferences, so a webcam is a must. It must have a dedicated graphics card and a decent screen resolution too.

His budget is $750 or less if possible.

If anyone knows of any sweet deals right now, that would be great.

PM me his email address, and I will shoot him off an invite to the Best Buy Private Auctions. He can snag a notebook with some amazing features for insane prices.

Or, the unit Penguin posted above is very decent.

Another great unit would be this:

Although 50 dollars over budget, it is outfitted with some big horsepower. It isn't flashy, but it packs a really nice set of hardware for an amazing price. Leave it to Acer to deliver on that.

Thank you very kindly Rahja, but he was in a hurry so he ordered one last night. :/ Lenovo had 20% off with free shipping for 1-2 days only so he went with them. He loved his Thinkpad that his last job provided for him, so that was his first choice all along.

Penguin - I think that Asus was my personal choice on the list of 4-5 laptops that I gave him to look over. hehe
