I want a Gaming Laptop in the range of 800 to 1200USD. I want an i7, at least 1TB of storage and a 2GB graphics card. I'm stuck on choosing between AMD and Nvidia.I'd also want good battery life. I would also like to know which Laptop manufacturer I should use, apart from Alienware. I want to play World of Warcraft at max settings.

If you cut back a little bit on storage (down to 750GB for now), I'd strongly consider looking into the Sager NP9130 with the NVidia GTX 670MX (3GB) card. Default processer is a 2.4Ghz 3rd-gen i7. As for battery life...you're not really going to see that happen in a gaming laptop. I believe the one I mentioned gets around an hour and a half under load, which is average for such. (Thing is, in order to have a battery that would have a long life on a gaming laptop...it'd have to have a ridiculous power storage capacity, meaning it'd be huge, and heavy.)

Thanks guys. Now comparing to the Alienware m14x, is the 1gb 650m Nvidia card enough to handle WOW at best graphics or will I require the 2gb one?
The rest of the specs will be i7, 2.4Ghz, 8/12gb ram and 500gb hard drive. And is Alienware worth it?
