Hey guys! I am currently searching for a gaming laptop, ultrabook, or windows 8 tablet to buy, and i will need your help in selecting one. I currently already have a "Sick" Gaming Pc "GTX 670, 2500k @ 5.0ghz, and a 23" 3D monitor", so i have all the performance i could wish for at this current time, and year. But... i cannot enjoy my pc as i am currently in college, and spend most of my time out of the house. I got an Acer Iconia a700 tab a few months ago, and it was fun when i first got it, but now, i have never wanted to replace an item so bad with something more powerful. The tablet is basically useless to me, It cannot just function as a laptop replacement and i will be giving it to my mom as a gift.
At first, i thought of getting a stylish ultrabook or windows 8 tablet, but the Price is what is currently keeping me from getting one, considering the performance i would get if i actually went with a gaming laptop for the same price or cheaper. So my question is...
What do you guys think? Should i go ahead and get a windows 8 tablet or Ultrabook, sacrificing performance for mobility and design while outdoors, and only doing all my gaming and video rendering on my PC. Or get a 15" GTX 660m with i7 and 6gigs of RAM gaming laptop . Which will be a little on the heavy side and a little stressful to move around but waYYY more powerful?

My budget is around 1000$ below... I could go a little higher like 1100$.. so please if you know of any good laptops, ultrabooks or windows 8 tablets that have reasonable specs like i5 upwards. Your suggestions will be much appreciated

....................................... Just Kidding! 
haha
. I can't wait for it to arrive 
. Thanks for your reply. Seems like it's a done deal now, so I will stop worrying about how much it's gonna weigh. 
, and it solved my heating issues. Thing is that, the U3 cooler is too Bulky to fit the 15" Y580 perfectly. So from your experience, which one do you think i should get?... I was looking at the Cm X-slim.. but i don't know if it will make as much of a difference as my previous U3 cooler.
