Laptop suggestions

[avp]

Hello

I'm looking for suggestions on laptops for editing. Looking for something that will be up to the task of editing (Vegas) timelines with up to 25 (audio/video) tracks and extensive fx/color grading.

I would like to have at least a couple USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and/or VGA out, kick ass graphics card, 12gb min ram, ssd (doesn't have to be huge), 17" HD monitor, Intel i7.

My budget is around 1k - 1200 but flexible. Realistic?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Jeff

Yeah, should do the trick.
Even my 5 year old Dell XLS works halfway decent at HD resolution - at 4k not so much though.
