new laptop

[gallandof]

Im looking to buy a new basic gaming laptop and was looking at an asus (specifically this one Asus - Laptop / Intel® Core™ i7 Processor / 17.3" Display / 6GB Memory - Silver Aluminum - N73SV-A3)

but was wondering if theres beter gaming laptops around the 1200$ mark.

I dont mind lugging around a huge laptop,so size isnt a concern. But I still want it to handle most modern games at decent settings(not looking to max out settings but get playable FPS without looking last gen)

Have you taken a peek at the Alienware (Dell) series?

There's always http://www.ibuypower.com/ also.

Eh, that 540M is a rather weak card. How much wiggle room do you have on the price?
Amazon.com: ASUS G73SW-XA1 Republic of Gamers 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop (Black): Computers & Accessories
That 460M will beat the 540M into oblivion.

If you can't spend that much:

That is a pretty ass laptop, I must say. Where was this when I was browsing the interwebs for one!?

That gfx card is a beast.
