I'm wanting to get a new laptop.. I haven't had a new one since the asus g50vt-x5, and it's well over time to retire it, I also haven't had much time to do much research,. Any idea what I could go with, to get the best bang for my buck? looking to spend 900-1500, the hp dv7 Beats Edition keeps coming up, but I don't really trust hp for gaming.. Thanks,.

That's the best bang for your bug. You can build a pretty nice one in that range. Make sure it has a 675m, 680m or 7970m GPU. If you're going to spend that kind of money nothing less than one of those is acceptable.

The guy who mentioned the other cards was referring to getting something like a sager or msi build. His wording was poor which is where the confusion comes from.

I've had an HP DV6 that I've been gaming on for a little over a year now. Gets between 60° - 70° C while gaming (60° if you have it ventilated well).

right now some of the Toshiba Qosmio series notebooks are on sale. a 3rd gen i7 with a 670m for $1000 is not bad at all.

2.5 years on my dv6 and it's mid 90s while gaming. Although, it always has run pretty hot.
