Decent Gaming Laptop?

ifskdajf

What is a decent priced Gaming Laptop out on the market? I would like to run Starcraft 2 on Normal Settings. My price range is around 1k. Is Alienware really worth the cost?
To Clarify: I will also be using the laptop for uni so a desktop is out of the question.
Im interested in the Lenovo Z560, is this a decent laptop?

Answer
want to game? GET a desktop!!!!! simple. Alienware laptops are not worth it. IF you really want to game. build your own custom gaming PC. no matter how much you spend for a laptop it will never be a nice gaming platform ...

then get a netbook for uni (200$) and build your cutom gaming desktop for 600-700$ if you build it yourself you will save alot. I built mine for 700$ and on teh market (DELL / alienware) sell it for 1300+) I got a phenom II x6 / 64 SSD / 1 TB 7200 / GTX 470 / 8 GIG of ram DDR3 .. and it was under 750$) oh and a 700WATT PSU.

honestly... who wants to carry around a 17 inch "gaming" laptop? it will be bulky!! and a waste as you can never tinker with it and upgrade as you want.

if you insist then you need one with dedicated graphics not integrated. here is one:

very tough to find one with dedicated graphics in that price range.. you should up it to 1500 if you want a decent gaming laptop!!

Best PC gaming laptop?

I'm looking for a new gaming laptop (NOT a desktop) that preferably does not cost over $2000 (although a little above that isn't a dealbreaker). Right now I'm thinking about the Alienware M17x. Any other suggestions?
I'm also thinking about the ASUS G75VW. Better than the Alienware?
