gaming laptop question

[morpheus305]

Im looking for a laptop for gaming preferably with a vid card of gtx 460m or higher. Found this today and was wondering your recommendations http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...255&SID=193888

This is a bit higher than I wanted to spend but was wondering what you guys thought. I don't really follow the laptop market that much so I don't know whats a good price. I'd like to spend less than 1200 but don't know if i can do that with the kind of laptop I want to get.

Same basic laptop but with one generation older CPU. (not a bad CPU though!) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834220921

hmm only 4gigs of ram i wanted least 6 or more. Are custom built laptops worth looking into?

For the price and custom options available, I'd go w/ a Sager NP8150... (xoticpc, mythlogic, lpcdigital, etc.).

There's a huge community of Sager owners over at www.notebookreview.com.
