Hi, I am in the market for my first gaming laptop. I cannot spend over 1k or 1050 for it before tax. I want the abosute best gaming performance at or below my limit. I have a few Ive been looking at but can use some comments on these. Please let me know if you know of a better deal on a better machine plz.

I like the last one the best. The GTX 260M is one of the strongest cards you can have for a laptop.

The last one but,you really can't use any of these traveling or stuff. The battery on these will die extremely fast. Especially the Acer Laptop with the 260M, i guarantee a life for that palying games under 50 mins. I reccomend some of the cheaper Ibugypower laptops with a better CPU, or CyberPower. You don't need all that horsepower for mobile game playing. I guarantee you don't want to play Crysis on the while traveling unles you have like 17 batteries.
This one is pretty good 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, 9600M, 250 GB HD. http://www.ibuypower.com/ibp/store/c...r.aspx?mid=320

The Asus is by far the best for the stated needs of gaming. I mean the 130m's (low power 9600m GT's) and the 9600m GT are less than half the 260m.
__________________Here is a link to an Asus I do not say it is better than the Asus you link but is better for gaming than all others mentioned and $150 less than your Asus with a 9800m GPU

I haven't heard many good things from Ibuypower, and Cyberpower ect. But that might have changed the past few years.

I hate how the 'build your own' laptop sellers fix the vid card to a build with no flexability at all. I cant find a single 'build your own' laptop seller that will let you make a gaming laptop with either a 260m, 280m, 9800gt or 9800gtx with a 2.0 ghz cpu or better for under 1,300 bucks.
