I'm currently in the market for a gaming Laptop, i have a very good gaming PC, but need something a little more portable, so I can both game and school while I am away from home.

I am looking to spend between 600-950 dollars, I don't have much experience with laptops and haven't found anything that has stuck out to me, Ill be playing games like World of Warcraft mostly,but would enjoy some leeway to play some more graphic intense games.

Thanks!

The Lenovo Y50 is an excellent machine with a 860m GPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683431753 at $999, but you might find an open box or refurbish.

The Acer Aspire V2 572 is about $530 with a 840m GPU

The older Lenovo Y510p is another possibility at about $750 to $800 with SLI (2) 755m which have similar performance but higher power needs than the 860m

WoW is more processor demanding than graphics. Although I think the new expansion has pushed the graphics up a bit. Something with an i5 is what you want to look at. Brands like Asus and MSI do a lot more of the gaming laptops than other makes but you can always find some good deals.

Not sure what these models would cost in dollars but the two below are good specs to look at.

i7 (Even if you don't have the money, I would try and save up and get the i7)

These are the kind of specs to look for.

Hope this helps
