I am looking for a gaming laptop that is fairly light and can deliver. I will be willing to pay around 1200-1800$ for it. I want to at least have a 660m in it. I want to be able to play games like battlefield 3,planet side 2, and Arma 3. I would prefer manufactures that are not MSI.

I like my laptop to feel sturdy, and look nice. A lot of times the keyboards on laptops have really bad keys that tend to be really bad quality. I also want it to feel sturdy on the keys and on the computer its self. I also like it when laptops have nice looks. I don't want it to look like some giant fat cube.

It's better if you purchase it from them installed. I'll pay an extra $80 to $100 for them to install it. Saves you the warranty and hassle.

Thank you for all of the help. I bought the Lenovo y500 with the 750m. Then I bought a second 750m to sli and the power brick. Thank you very much. Lonewonder there is no hassle for installing the second graphics card for Lenovo. All you do is take out the optical drive and replace it.
