I'm taking Information Design this fall, and the graphic design aspect of that means I need a fairly powerful laptop, with lots of RAM and preferably, a good, preferably non glossy display.

I bought this today: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...7e531a2608en02

- It has an "Ivy Bridge" Intel i7, 12GB of Ram, 1080p matte display, etc. It would be the perfect machine for me except for its size. It's huge and very heavy.

Does anyone know of any lighter alternatives that may work for me? My max budget's about $1200. I will have a good desktop at home to work on, so sacrificing some power may not be an issue.
