What laptop is best for graphic design and animation?

No cheap laptop will do graphics design very well. For Graphics Design I would purchase a Mac. Apple does graphics better than any Windows PC. The Apple MacBook will serve you well, and will cost you $999. This is the best graphics laptop you can get for under $1,000. Also no anti-virus or anti-spyware software is required. Everything you need will come pre-installed, short of the graphics program of your choice.
