Is it possible to get a decent gaming laptop for under $1000 canadian, and when i say decent i mean a video card that can run games at about medium-high settings, and a dual core processor, I'de prefer a 16 inch screen, but if you own a 15 inch laptop tell me what you think, thanks

Here's one with a decent video card: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220635

This laptop is over $1000, but would last you a lot longer: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220639

Mobile graphics card rankings: GTX 260M >> GTS 250M > HD 4670 > HD 4650 > GT 240M > GT 230M > GT 220M >> HD 4570

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Laptop-Computers/Gaming-Laptops/pcmcat150700050002.c?id=pcmcat150700050002 ANY of the Asus laptops will be able to run ANY game out there now at medium to high settings. Also asus has great build quality, and the laptops with the design on cover actually have rubberized palm wrests that keep cool under load.

That's a great deal, but that's American not Canadian.
