I'd have to second that... I've had the best experiences with Nvidia cards as 
well. I just bought a new laptop recently, did alot of digging around... I 
came across several places that had good systems:

System 76
AVA Direct
PC Torque 

Most of them were reselling Sager laptops or MSI. I settled with a Sager from 
PC Torque, they were the only ones that offered an accidental protection 
plan...
