Need help w/ a new laptop

fulmanfu

Going into a situatin where I can't be at the computer desk much and need to get a good laptop to do some gaming on.

I'm going to look into it, but figured I'd hop on here quick and see if anyone just got one they like or knows of some good deals.

I don't need a super machine but something pretty good, good enough to play any of the new games or any coming out in the near future.

under $1500, hopefully closer to 1k.
Would it just be best to go no newegg and read specs/reviews and buy one?

I have more faith in people here than random reviews on those products though so any info/advice would be appreciated, so thanks in advance if anyone answers.

it's been my experience, as far as gaming laptops go, that the Asus line is very well designed, durable, and powerful.

Always loved their motherboards, and when I found out they made laptop I almost switched completely (still have my Macs though).

Any of the Laptops on the following Link have my approval for Proc/Mem/HDD/Vid:
