Best laptop under $1800

Solution
Well, with your budget you can get a laptop with an i7 and a 780m (speaking of Sager models, not a chance from other brands), but in my opinion the cost of that is a huge premium over the 8970m or even the 770m and you can get things like a beefy SSD instead of the premium for the GPU.

What specs do you suggest 770m or 780m? i5 or i7?

Im thinking of going with the 770m on one of the replacable builds so it can be updated later to make room for a SSD and the 4800mq over the 4700mq. What do you think?
