Default WTB: Gaming laptop

Looking for a decent laptop that would be able to play most recent games. Something with a GTX260M or similar videocard would be perfect.

Let me know what you've got.

Yes, those are very nice, but they are way more than I can spend.

Looking for gently used similar/lesser models for $700-$800.

Not going to find a decent gaming laptop for that price. The alienware M11x is $799 if you want to see the graphics on an 11.5" screen really come alive, get that.

You can get so much better desktop PC's for that price than any laptop.

There are a few here and there for around that price. Newegg has some refurb units that look appealing too. It's kinda tough lugging a desktop around from hotel to hotel on road trips, which is why I'm looking for a laptop .

I'm going to be on the road a lot this winter, so I'm just looking for something that I can use to kill a few hours (and maybe some bad guys) with while I'm hanging out in the hotel rooms.

That Future Shop computer looks like exactly what I need to play SC2...

Now the tough question - can I spare $700?

I have an alienware laptop sitting in my basement. All I remember is that the screen is 17 inches. It was too big for me. Pm
me if you are interested and I will look up all the specs.
