hey guys, just after suggestions for a good gaming laptop under $2,000

preferably with a radeon 6850m or nvidia 555m

graphics cards are the problem for gaming on laptops, have looked around for ages but struggling.
hoping someone here has already found one they can recommend. thanks :)

I had a quick hunt on the big retailers websites and couldn't find anything with that level of graphics power for under 2k, Alienware through Dell come close at about $2200 or so, they may be your best bet especially if they have a christmas special that brings it down under your budget.

If you can spend $500 or so extra, I have a few models to suggest.

It is decent if you don't mind playing new games in medium detail.
