best gaming laptop for under 1500

[julianrousseau]

im a college student looking for a laptop powerful enough to play games like counter strike or world of warcraft.....but portable enough to carry to school (im an IT student so laptop is a must).....i was looking at the samsung 7 series chronos but cannot find a website that sells it....id really like a 1080p screen and a backlit key board.....anyway any suggestions or advice would be appreciated

Check out the Y500 with SLI GT 750m

Try Lenovo Yseries, samsung isn't really great for gaming IMO

WoW and CS are not heavy games and you really don't need an $1500 laptop.
Can you define weight limits? screen size preferetion?

weight isnt really an issue my campus is VERY small so not a lot of carrying around to do......would prefer a 17" but will be okay with a 15.6''.....also i am worried about it being powerful enough to do everything i will need it to do for a IT degree i would like to only have to buy one laptop for the whole time....and to be honest if i had the power to play skyrim i probably would pick up the game
