This is the best I've found so far. https/www.google.com/shopping/product/14652549535955037954?q=laptop&safe=off&hl=en&biw=1745&bih=926&sa=X&ei=qykZUrC-L4ah2gWkjYCQCg&ved=0CMwBEPMCMAE

I also found one, much heavier, but a true gaming laptop. http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230592&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Laptops+%2f+Notebooks-_-N82E16834230592&gclid=CPC0zseIl7kCFWNgMgodSB8AFg

I'd recommend something like the Lenovo Y510p. There are several models, but all come with Haswell i7, 15.6" HD screen, GTX 750m with 2GB VRAM, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD (a couple models come with a cache SSD too), DVD drive, etc. Three of there models fall under $1000.

The Asus G75 is the most powerful of all that have been recommended, but it is also the heaviest, largest, most expensive, least portable. I'd recommend it for a semi-portable desktop replacement. It is the most upgradable in terms of hard drive, RAM. If you are generally going to keep it on a desk and transport it in a regular backpack. If you need something comfortable to travel with regularlly or use in your lap often, this isn't the best choice. It may get warm and also the weight gets annoying. I think it will last longest but it will always get one up'd by the size of new ultrabooks. Battery life can go either way. Using the GPU in games and Photoshop will kill it quicker than the other laptops but doing regular video watching, surfing and all less intensive work, the battery will stand above the others.

In conclusion the laptop will basically near max out games on an elegant 1080p 17" screen, kick butt at multitasking and stay relevant for a couple years. All of this comes at the cost of size and weight. You make the call.

I'd go with the Y510P http/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CRXZSYQ/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00CRXZSYQ&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 since it's the best bang for your buck with the dual GT 750M's.

Over 1000 Dollars and SLi setups in laptops are a downer.

Why would SLI setups in laptops be considered a downer? The ultrabay in the y510p can be easily swapped for the dvd drive if you are not playing games. Two 750m's can deliver a better performance than the 670m from what I heard, making the y510p a very good buy for the budget.

+1 The ONLY downside is power consumption. Other than that it's a great value for the performance.

Well power consumption leads to loss of battery life and drivers for Sli setups can be tricky sometimes. Also the lack of a drive isn't a deal breaker but still a downside. It is of tremendous value but why do you think more people bought a titan than a 690, Single chip performance. One good chip is better than two medium chips even if they beat it in performance IMO. It's ultimately up to the buyer but a 670mx is good enough for most gamers while maintaining lower power levels and heat. I find it easier to use a single card in media programs and motion graphics as well. And it would suck to need the graphics capability of more than one 750, but less than 2, you're wasting power.

To each their own opinion. Please go ahead and correct me here. I'm open and won't get offended. Thanks, Cheers.

 

[BranFlake5]

Actually, the Y510p can be tweaked to have a good battery performance with one GPU (here)

My point was that a 670 offers a median performance between one and two 750m's so that no power is wasted when you require more powerthan one but less than 2 750 chips

 

[BranFlake5]

Why GTX 670MX? where will you find it?
and though one card is usually better than two, no GTX 670MX class gaming laptop would have such a good battery running times as the Y510p with a single GT 750M

That's the card in the Asus Gaming Notebook I recommended, and it has better battery life than 2 750s. LISTEN to my point If you need more power than a 750, but don't want to waste battery on an SLI setup, a 670MX has median/Upper quartile performance.

 

[BranFlake5]

IMO the SLI 750's are overkill for the user's needs. I think money would be better invested in an Asus gaming laptop than some Lenovo performance notebook.
