You are going to be very hard pressed to find a laptop that will play current games and still be under $1500. What I would do is piece together a decent desktop for gaming and then buy a cheap laptop for portable word processing/surfing.

Already have the desktop one at home. Got this Sony vaio tower and a 22" Gateway screen. Does good on gaming. But I want something for on the go, which I do alot of during the day.

Just so you know, i got a dell 9300, pentium M 1.86ghz, gig of ram, geforce 6800 256meg (overclocks to 380/780 no artifacts), 60gig 7200 rpm HD, 2950 a/b/g wifi, dvd+r, 2 batteries, 3 years Mcafee, back pack carry case and a 1 year waranty shipped overnight for $1588. I bought in the begining of Dec with a $750 off coupon and xmas time free upgrades. If you watch the deal sites for coupon codes you can do ok. Its certainly not the best gaming lappy but its good enough to play hl2 on all high settings. When its not good enough i can still upgrade for pretty cheap.

Yah man, thanks for that fourm link. I might look into those. Seems to be about what I could spend. I am no hurry to buy, just getting some ideas. But thanx for the help. Looks like you got a bad *** setup there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
