I am looking for a high end gaming laptop for as cheap as possible. I will be traveling a lot over the next year so a desktop is not practical right now. It is a 15" so may be better for me as far as portability. I have looked at a ton of websites and tweaked every option and this is the cheapest laptop of this caliber I could find, anyone know of any cheaper? I'm looking for the cheapest laptop possible that has a GTX 680m or AMD 7970m and components that will not bottleneck the GPU. I think this laptop at $1,366 gives me just that but I would like to make sure, still a big investment for me.
