Looking for new laptop

[kandrathe]

Looking to purchase a gaming laptop as mine is getting rather old. Looking for something under or very close to 1k, that will be able to play new and current games with good graphics. Size is not an issue and I would prefer windows 7.
If anyone can give some info or suggestions that would be great thanks!

I've bought my last two gaming PC's from http://www.ibuypower.com

I'm happy with their PC's. I've never tried their laptops. I modified their lowest end laptop to include ssd boot, and 7200rpm 2nd drive + shipping is just over $1300.
