Mid-Level Laptop

Hey everyone, I'm starting college soon and am in need of a laptop.

My budget is around 1200$ although I can squeeze more out. I've never owned a laptop so I don't really know where to look. I looked a bit into eurocom, alienware, and dell. None seem to really peak my interests though. I have a desktop with x-fired 6970's so HIGH end graphics isn't a huge issue. A 6970 or 6950 would be nice though, It just seems that they're hard to find in laptops. i7, or i5 would do fine. I'm not really going to be gaming a whole lot on this laptop, just some here and there. I don't want to be annoyed though going from my desktop to my laptop and it feel sluggish.

So thanks for anybody who helps I'd love some suggestions or help on where to start.

Edit: I looked into Eurocom some more and was thinking about the EUROCOM Racer, if anybody has any more info on this that'd be great.

Try Dell XPS series, or Lenovo IdeaPad Y series http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary [...] ction=init
