I'm looking for a new laptop. I'll be doing some mild gaming (WoW WotLK private server), some programming (VS 2010/2012 and Java) and general school stuff.
Budget is something of an issue. I'm probably looking at no more than $850 or $899 tops. I'm fine with refurbished items, as long as the seller/manufacturer has a good rep and quality.
My current findings right now are...

I'm fine with a 14", 15" or 17" screen. i'm not too concerned with size. Also, the hard drive doesn't need to be amazing. I can replace it easily enough.
Also, i'm looking at some Lenovo's (They are refurbs)

Nice size and hardware looks good.

I'm definitely open to other deals. I know something from ASUS or MSI would probably be better. I'm all for it.
I do want dedicated graphics. Lots of RAM is a plus. Backlight keyboard is desired. I would also like USB 3.0 and some fancy mSata/eSata goodness.
I'm upgrading from a HP DV6700 with a T9300 , 4GB G.Skill RAM, 750GB seagate 5400 drive, and a nVidia 8400m GS
I appreciate any help...
