    Is this a decent gaming laptop? Good enough for diablo 3?

    Baka believes that it is indeed good enough to play Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. Not on the highest settings but around medium maybe ._.

    I wouldn't spend $1k on a machine without Ivy Bridge/Kepler. You're paying full price for a last gen machine there.

    Yeah that seems a bit pricey for a laptop like that. Look into Asus maybe?
