I know Jacob/Lee got a really good laptop with that price range, message him asking him about it.

Spend and extra 300(1540) for the NP8150 with and amd hd 9990 graphics card. It can play pretty much any game on ultra.

Anything below that price can't play on ultra/high on sager laptops.

This is a good laptop for the price:

Core i7 2.2 GHz

Dual exhaust on the back

My dad has the same design as this, but GTX460 and a slightly lower clocked i7.  Works great, haven't played on it myself but I'm sure it'll do superb.

Only the most outrageously expensive laptops will be able to do the highest settings on games like Battlefield 3 or Crysis 2.  Those are anywhere from $1500-$2000 and are way out of his budget.

300 bucks isn't a lot of money.

Why get i7 it's not like you'll die without it. I go with an i5 and I'm fine. But what ever floats your boat. Im pretty sure i5 is more than you need. i7 sounds like its just for bragging rights. But I'm no expert.

You're a bit of a loving idiot.
