check out the dell inspiron 9100 as it features a nvidia 6800 go or x800. they do make gaming laptops.

asus z71v, (abs mayhem g3) has a 6600 go.

i'd look at the dell with the 6800. people do use laptops for gaming, especially for lan parties and college bound students.

Not that good gaming laptop with a budget of $1500... dell 9300, i think. Expensive though. I think the performance hes looking for in that budget can only be found in a desktop
