Need a new gaming laptop.

[vaerax]

I need a new gaming laptop... any recommendations? My budget is ivo $13-1400 max, including shipping. I have an i7-920 with 9gb ddr3 memory gtx260 yadda yadda... the laptop is for portability and for school. I was looking at getting an i5 but the i3s seem to work really well, and the extra cash would let me put more into a better memory card so it seems like I a good i3 with a better gpu would be more efficient than a good cpu and an 'eh' gpu. Please advise.

@lostandwandering - the best buy link doesn't seem to be working.

@lostandwandering - the best buy link doesn't seem to be working.

I went back and edited the link, try it again. If not, go to Best Buy's website and do a search for Asus G73. Two will come up, the one I am talking about is the one for $1199.99.

edit: ok, it's still not working. Not sure what is up. I'll keep trying.

edit2: Try this: go to the link in my post, right click, select "copy link location" and paste it in your location bar.

Or you can just type in the product ID: 9741729
into the Keyword or Item # search box on any BestBuy page.
I think its just a "Firefox thing" because IE and Google Chrome mostly work with the BestBuy links.

Wow yeah w/ a 5870 and everything, that looks like a pretty sweet deal. Anyway, this has been open longer than intended b/c the government is slow at processing things. As soon as my friggin GI Bill finishes processing, I'm going to grab a laptop.
