Which Gaming Laptop?

[pixelra]

I am looking around for a new gaming laptop. I want to keep it some where under $1300ish. I want to play games like Planetside 2, Skyrim, and other games like that. So far I have a list of 3.
-Samsung series 7 Chronos 17.3in (i7 3630qm, HD 8870, 8gb ram) -$1300
-Lenovo y500 15.6in (i7 3630qm, gt650m SLI, 8gb ram)- $1000-1100
-Toshiba Qosmio 17.3in (i7 3630qm, gtx 670m 3gb, 12gb ram)- $1100

Which one is best for gaming and for the best price? Feel free to recommend any others that are good for the price.
Thanks!

I'd ignore other brands...

The best for gaming of your list is the Lenovo y500, followed by the Toshiba Qosmio and then the Samsung series 7. All three have Class 1 mobile GPUs. http/www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M-SLI.84953.0.html

I have a Lenovo Y500 and it's a great laptop. I think I would avoid the Toshiba Qosimo series though - they're extremely big and clunky and are known to have a lot of maintenance issues.
