My son is due for a new laptop.  I'd like to spend around $1500.00 USD.  I have not paid any attention to laptops in the last couple of years so I no longer have a decent grip on what I should be looking for in today's laptops.

My son's needs.  His friends are on PC, and although he doesn't seem to play graphically demanding games that may be because his current laptop is Win7. He will be using it for art at school as well.  I intend to also buy a platform/cooler as he tends to lay in bed and use it, and I know power = heat.

I appreciate any advice or SKUs.
