Below are some great choices for your first/next gaming laptop. They range in price from as low as $799 all the way up to $4000. They are all available online through the manufacturer, I recommend that method because more customizing options are available to you.

iBuypower Battalion 101 M865TU – Starting at $1,369 this Battalion laptop has received great reviews from both users and experts. It boosts a 15.4 inch screen and weighs under 10lbs with the AC adapter. The M865TU is a great affordable gaming laptop that gives you a Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M graphics card an a fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This iBuypower can be found and ordered off of the ibuypower website.

Alienware Area-51 m15x – Starting at $1,399 is the 15.4" Alienware gaming beast that keeps a sleek design while still offering you tons of power. Be warned though that the final price can shoot up to over $4,000 with modifications in processors and video cards. The lower end models are still good but the more money you have the better performance you'll get with the entire Alienware brand of gaming laptops.

iBuypower Battalion 101 FX-925Z – Starting at $1,299 the Battalion 101 FX is another great 15.4" super fast Intel Core 2 Duo powered computer with options for the latest i7 and i5 super processors. The design is very similar to the other Battalion gaming laptops that iBuypower offers. For the starting price of $1,299 you still get very gaming capable gpu, the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 160M with 1GB of video memory.
