Ok, my girlfriend LOVES Skyrim and I need to get her to stop hogging my desktop. :) She's got an old MacBook Pro we're gonna eBay for 500-600 and I'd like to find her a nice gaming laptop under $1000 if possible that will lay waste to Skyrim. I keep hearing that Skyrim isn't too hard on the graphics card so this should be pretty doable. Suggestions? Any Black Friday deals?

You could go for any laptop with GTX560M or GT 555/550M graphic card.
Many deals are available from dell/hp/toshiba etc.

I found this interesting because of the heavy duty GPU. Feel free to browse through for better deals in that site though.

For a solid laptop for $1k, I would say its a Lenovo IdeaPad Y570. Look out for the deals!

Good luck.

looks like a decent deal except that first post says upgrade to ddr1600 - that you don't have to do, if default comes on ddr1333 that'll be plenty

edit: just looked it up on dell's website, seems like 1600 is included in price, so no problem there, disregard my statement above. I do however wonder why it says 2670 required ddr1600, since intel lists memory profile as 1066/1333 only

Good one I guess. Pretty successful model from Lenovo. IF you could wait just a little, maybe you could get a better deal with the latest processor 2670QM instead of the old 2630QM, though there wont be much difference.

Well she wants a 17-inch and so far the best deal I've found is this Alienware at Dell http://www.dell.com/us/eep/p/alienware-m17x-r3/pd and using this coupon https://www.saveology.com/deals/national/dell-coupon I can get 25% off which would make it around $1100 and there's also a Dell ecoupon for $75 if you buy a $400 gift card and use it on the laptop so that brings it down to a little over $1000. Its superior performance-wise to the other laptops discussed in this thread. What do you guys think?
