Hey guys, I'm helping my friend pick out a laptop that he is going to be using mostly for gaming. The budget is a bit complicated since his mom is buying it for him and we don't have any set number. I was thinking around 1kish... The cheaper the better but a little over hopefully would still be OK anything like 1300 would be a long shot so that is probably too expensive and 1500+ is most likely completely out of the question. We pretty much need the best gaming laptop in this price range (we are most concerned with getting the best GPU for this price that we can get)

What do you guys recommend for this?

I found this
http://www.ascendtech.us/Itemdesc.asp?ic=LTPGWP6831FXBNO&eq=&Tp=

which looks perfect with that GPU and price ratio, but is that real? I could not find this notebook for sale anywhere else (Gateway P-6831 FX)

All help is HIGHLY appreciated! :D
 
the link u provide is very nice. For the res that notebook provides, the gpu will tear through anything. Really is a good deal worthy of the hotdeal section IMO.
 
I would get the one you posted or find a Dell 6300 w/ SLI 8700s. Wont beat that price though.
 
How easy would it be to swap out the CPU on that Gateway for something a little more powerful?
 
UPDATE:
I have found a slightly better laptop - Gateway P-6860 FX
http://www.ascendtech.us/Itemdesc.asp?ic=LTPGWP6860FX001&eq=&Tp=

Right now its at $700, my friend says he definitely wants this but he is concerned about the fact that it is recertified. Does anyone have any experience with AscendTech/ their warranties/ or anything that would make this a solid buy?

Since it is recertified will it still be 100% fine? I told him it should be but he can't have this laptop die in a few months, this is for the longterm.
