Gaming laptop under $1,000

I think the Lenove Y580 is great, no matter the graphic card or processor, my friend buy this one, he can play Skyrim around 50 fps at high settings.

its arrogant to imply that a model laptop can play skyrim regardless of its graphics card or processor. In the end, the only differences between models are built quality, bloatware, and feature stuff (Ports, bluetooth, that kind of thing). What MATTERS is the graphics card and processor (among a few other things)-not the model.

Skyrim isnt even a demanding game. The 650M in SLI in the new Y500 seems awesome... but people say the performance is just a bit more than the 660m in the y580 while just getting hotter.

Don't forget the RAM it matters a lot!
