I'm looking to get a gaming laptop. I checked out Dell and Alienware but they are pretty darn expensive. Can someone reccommend me some good stores (preferrably online) that sell good quality and affordable laptops? Thanks.

Affordable and gaming laptop aren't exactly synonimous words.

unless you want to spend upwards of $1000 on a laptop it will probably be unable to handle games

I've never seen a decent gaming laptop for less than $1,500 - $2,000. Check with Dell (ugh), HP, and (surprise) Gateway. Alienware is good, but a little bit pricey, and they're now owned by Dell (ugh).

Oh and I forgot about Acer. That would be your best value.

No, it's possible. But you're almost having to literally pay out the ass for one that is capable of running modern games fluidly.
