Laptop around $1000

[mrorange43]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a laptop to pair with my gaming rig for about 1000 dollars, give or take maybe like 100. Not a huge fan of the MBPs so those are out.

Things I want in the laptop:

1) 14" laptop (but I will go bigger if there is a noticeable price difference)
2) Good processing power (i series preferably)
3) 7200rpm HD with 320-500GB space
4) 4GB RAM

Bonus features:

1) Multi-touch touchpad? Any PC laptops with this feature?
2) High res screen for HD movies
3) Decent graphics cards for light gaming

Thoughts?
