hi guys!
i'm looking for a good gaming laptop. theses are the things i'm looking for:
-15" & lower
-good GPU (the kind that will be better than a desktop 6850)
- around 1000$
- as long as it works, i don't care about the condition (from refurbished to new) :p
anyone got any suggestions? i'll be happy to hear :)
thanks!

* i don't mind it not being "gaming", as long as it stand in all the criteria :)

i checked lenovo's site and it's 1,199 and that's already on sale :p. although, if there's a place where i could buy the 750 as ultrabay or a model with the same specs only cheaper i would defiantly buy it. what about the 6990M? do you think it'll play bf4 on high? is it better than the 765m? thhanks! :p

hey thanks man! i checked the link you sent now (didn't see it earlier lol) i see micro center are the only ones selling for 1K with SLI. are they legit? also, the battery seems really crappy... is there anyway i could buy a 8-cell battery (like from a private seller) or does it not work that way? thanks! a LOT! :)

thanks! but amazon sells the SLI versions for more than 1,100$ so i'll buy from micro-center. hey thanks! you're the best answer! also, is there a Y410p sli version? 14" would be a great size for me.

EDIT: i see now that the model on amazon means that this is the SLI model although they don't seem to mention that anywhere else. as for the reddit guy who tweak'd the battery, can you send me a link or something? i can't find it! thanks!

the amazon one isn't in SLI formation. in the item description it says under optical drive: none. so i think i'll just order from micro center. they sell it for 1K and they say it has SLI. thanks man, you've been really helpful. :)
