I am currently looking for a new gaming laptop. I am looking for any good, reliable laptop for under 1300 dollars. I stumbled upon the Asus G73, which looks pretty amazing, and i was wondering if there were any others that might be a bit cheaper, but with the same, or almost the same specs.

Please reply ASAP

I bout an Asus ROG somethingsomething for about 1400.
Q820, 16gb ram, 1tb hdd + 64gb ssd, GTX 460M.

I would not suggest a 15.6" like I purchased though. It really is big.

I would really suggest aiming for a 14".

Laying down some base stats...
4 core @ 2ghz (i5, NOT i7! i3 would be good even!), 4gb ram, HDD doesn't matter too much (cheap as chips), but SSD if you can afford (I got a 64gb SSD @ $80, but my deal was really great), 400 series is good, but remember that you want something >420. As for ATI, you will have to compare yourself (it is pretty easy just google).

You should be able to get something decent for $1000.

Remember to check Ebay. There are a lot of 'configure your own' on there, that are way cheaper than manufacturer or from shops.

Im a fan of Alienware:
The M14x is starting at $1100

• Stream HD video and audio wirelessly with new 60GHz Wireless HD technology

Dimensions: (W)13.27" (D)10.17" (H)1.49"

Moved to Computer/Mobile chat. I bet you'll get a more in depth response here. (not that you haven't already)

I was looking at the TOSHIBA Satellite L655-S5165 which looks quite powerful and reliable. Can I get some feedback on that?
Another computer that caught my eye was the MSI GT 660. What do you think ?

The PC specs are FOR WHAT YOU NEED, not just top of the range, you will find it would be much cheaper that way. All I can suggest is a laptop win W7 on it.
