    @ThinkPaid, there are quite a few laptops you can buy now around $700-800 or so that can handle running games at 900p or 1080p.

    However, it's probably better to wait a few months as Ivy Bridge, Kepler (NVIDIA) and Southern Islands (AMD GPU) will be dropping soon.

    "gaming laptop" and "$700" do not belong in the same sentence :p

    Notebooks with GT 640M are already out but I think only in asia. Notebooks with GT 650M and GTX 660M will also mostly have Ivy Bridge, which means you have to wait til May since release date of Ivy is 29th April. Notebooks with 670M and 675M is also available on May I think, although asia dates could be different. GTX 680M is announced late June (rumor)
