you really arent gonna get much of a "gaming" laptop unless you put in over 2k.  that would build one hell of a desktop though.  laptops really just arent meant for gaming

I was looking into a gaming laptop myself because I'm going on a bike tour across europe and I wanted something to get atleast some downtime in the hotel but I kinda gave up after quite a few months of searching because I couldn't find anything to my liking. Maybe I'll just have to drop by some LAN centres when I'm going through the netherlands :D

mine cost around 3 grand so you might want to spend a little more than 1400.

But if you want a laptop that is good for all-around purposes, you can never go wrong with a dell.
