The Asus laptop I was thinking about was the ASUS G74SX-RS72 http://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-G74SX-RS72-CA-15-6-inch-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B007TX36HU (53,685 RUB) It has the NVIDIA GTX 560M 3GB RAM. Intel i7 which should be 6 core, one additional HD bay. (Drop a 1TB in it) The price last years was only $999.00; (31,673 RUB) when Asus changed models from the Asus G74SX-RS71...maybe it is the solid state drive. I have seen similar models at about 1300-1400 CAN. (41,xxx to 45,xxx RUB?)

Hi Jim -- Thank you for your note. Yes, that notebook look good - the only issue I'm worried about is that it has not very advanced graphic card (NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM): I do not plan to play modern/any PC games on that notebook but I do plan to use it for Windows Phone development. And Windows Phone development requires a good graphic card for WinPhone emulator to work in all modes - I'm not sure if NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM is good enough for WinPhone emulator. Do you/anybody here know how to check is the subject notebook graphic card (NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM) good enough for WinPhone emulator? - are there anywhere minimal requirements for graphic cards listed - minimal requirements to run WinPhone 7 and WinPhone 8 emulators in all modes?
