Gaming Laptop

Hey,
I started this topic a couple of days ago:
Budget Laptop Help

Well I've looked all over the place and there is no way I find a decent gaming laptop for $800-$900. So I want your help again finding a decent laptop for playing some games. IE - Call of Duty: United Offensive.

I don't want intigrated graphics. I can spend like $1400 if I can find somthing good. I want ATI or NVidia, Nothing too special obviously for $1400 or less. Like the 9200 or somthing.

Anyone know of some good deals? The main goal is to be able to play COD on this laptop. Oh and I want wireless built in. lol. Those are the main things.

Thanks a lot
-Joe

Upgrade the graphics card for 50 bucks and you should be set. That puts you at 1500. Mess around customizing and you can easily get it down to 1400. My friend has an older version of this laptop and he likes it.

I heard the 9300 LCD has terrible glare to the point where people had to return the laptop. I think thats only if you get the WUXGA screen though. Dell may have changed screens but last time I checked it was pretty bad.
