Gaming laptop under $1,000

Hey guys! I am looking for a gaming laptop that would be handle games like BF3, TF2, L4D2, Etc. but I am having trouble finding out what would be the best computer for the lowest price. I need some suggestions! The cheaper the better and the appeal is important to me. I would like to be able to run the games listed above with like 60+ fps. Please leave some suggestions

Option 1:
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...-category-id=AC523278A4F13F27A84F5F5622D1AC7A

Has a GTX660M, 8GB of RAM, 3rd Gen i7, and a 1080P display. It comes with Windows 8 since the Windows 7 ones are gone. I wouldn't recommend this at this moment since last week there were 2 other models with a 500GB HDD @7200rpms, which is what you want, not 5400RPM. They are sold out though, maybe they will replenish for xmas since revenues will be released for Q4 soon, or maybe not. Also the 660M may struggle at 60fps on BF @ 1080p, it will play high at constant 40-50 fps (guessing from past experience but not completely sure)

Chose from the configuration you would like. This is MUCH more custimizable and they are great laptops, I would recommend this more.

After research, the NP6350 is the best deal, it is the same price as the Lenovo once you add the i7 for 70 bucks since the base i5 is only dual core, and you get a free 750GB 7200RPM drive which you do not get in the lenovo. If you are playing on wireless, I recommend the Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 controller to be added in

Thanks man! I will look into it, really appreciate the help

I was actually looking around and found this: http://www.xoticpc.com/force-qal51hd-compal-qal51-p-4808.html
do you think that would be any good?

it is fine, but I have never heard of them, and I am kinda not really liking them so far since they said under the 650M, 2048mb of Gddr3, which is not right, it is really GDDR5. The 650 wont play BF3 at ultra at 60fps, the pc I sent you will play it fine at high/ultra @ like 40-50fps. The 650 may struggle at 1080 at ultra. Your choice if you are not picky about graphics, L4D2 and TF2 are built on a old engine that will play very well on the 650

Yea graphics dont meant that much too me, I mean they are nice dont get me wrong but they dont really bug me. Thanks man! I like those computers too, I appreciate your time!

no problem, but what I mean by looks is graphical detail .

Look at here, this site offers a few gaming laptops under $1000 with great performance. And you can look into the comparison in the features

Thank you!

All those laptops suck... the cards are so weak. Also Never game on Vaios or Toshibas since you cannot update Graphics drivers from nvidia or AMD and the ones from the manufacturer are very outdated

You can try either of these: it will play any game you throw at it at max resolution and ultra settings or higher.
Asus S505CM-XX188H
MSI GX60 1AC-034AU
MSI GE60 0ND-409AU
MSI CX61
Try Newegg, Landmark, NCIX or Tigerdirect.

Not really, these laptops are a rip off, and cannot handle "any game". He needs it under $1000, and a 635M wont play BF3 at even medium. A 650M is not worth 1089 bucks.

you are wrong there..

a 650M cant run BF3 at ultra... a 630M cant even run BF at High...

there is a fairly substantial performance difference between the two. Not saying it CAN run it on ultra, maybe high/ultra though.

I could have sworn he said play at high at one point. But I am looking back and he said just 60+FPS. But still, the 650M isnt worth the $1100 price tag

can agree with that last part

Well 60fps,
go on low details on everything on 800x600 resolution and you can play 60fps with that card lol

lol. I think this is the OP's final chance to buy since deals are about to end.
