Gaming laptop up to $1,000 GO!

This sounds decent - though slightly over your budget: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230580

Edit:  There's also an i5 with similar specs for $869: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231001

I'm looking for a gaming lapton up to $1,000. suggestions/links?

Alienware m14x first comes to mind...but I hate Alienware becuase they over-price their Desktops...never bothered looking into laptops.

Asus has the Zenbook which is pretty good, and Lenovo has some gaming laptops with GTX 650m.

Also, AnandTech has pretty good LAPTOP BENCHMARKS in most of demanding games.

you should get a laptop with 1080p resolution for that much money.  The lenovo y500 is good for that much.

here it is

This one looks to be the best power/price ratio I've seen here.

pretty good.  But 2 major issues with this laptop.  1)6.4lb...thats pretty much like carrying a small baby around 

2) up to 3 hours battery life....expect 1.5.  They could have made this switchable graphics to preserve battery life.

Actually, i'm gonna throw in the extra $200 to get http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+17.3%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/7674057.p?id=1218858193064&skuId=7674057#tab=specifications. And correct me if i'm wrong, but the 670m is good for graphics right?

I was on a much tighter budget than 1k, but I've been more than happy with my $600 Lenovo y570 (core i7, 8gb ram, gt 555m 1gb)

Good for gaming, but still doesnt hold a candle to my desktop I just popped a 2gb gtx 560 ti into.

$700 desktop and a $300 laptop for when you actually need to be portable.

Gaming laptops aren't portable.
