A real gaming laptop will start at maybe $700.
Take a look at these rankings:

Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Samsung are the top 4 laptop brands. I wouldn't consider any other brands.
Dell makes Alienware and they are not worth the money charged.
Acer makes Gateway. You'd have to pay me to use one of their machines.
Sony hardware has generally been good, but they are notorious for putting huge amounts of crapware/bloatware on machines and gathering information on their consumers without their knowledge or permission.
Toshiba has bottomed the rankings. Personally, I have used them and never had a problem, but that does not appear to be the case any more.
Here is my current desktop wishlist for intense gaming:
Asus Sabertooth, Crossfire V Formula-Z, or the Crossfire V Formula motherboard with the AMD chipset. Any reliable brand of motherboard with the 990FX chipset will work, but I have a strong preference for Asus boards.
AMD FX-8350 or FX 6350 CPU.
Some brand of GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost
2x4 gb RAM
128 GB SSD for OS and applications - This can be eliminated for cost savings.
1 TB HDD with a 5 year warranty.
Asus Blu-Ray writer/DVDRW, CDRW, etc. You can save $50 or so by dropping the Blu-Ray part of the optical drive.
Flash memory card reader.
Corsair Carbide 400R case.
750 Watt 80+ Certified Bronze modular power supply. This could be dropped to a 650 watt supply, but stick with the 80+ Bronze.

Cheap gaming laptop? Help?

I am currently looking at gaming laptops I want to invest in in the near future, but I want it to be a cheap laptop, I already have one, and don't want something that is thousands of dollars. Here is a website of what I am looking for: http://allgaminglaptops.com/best-gaming-laptops-under-1000/#comment-1435
Now, what would be the best laptop to get on that sight, other than the Alienware (I know those are good, but is a high price). I play games like Skyrim, Minecraft, Sims 3, Pay Day 2, Planetside 2, and much higher quality games. Which one would be the best investment for a guy with a small budget? Thanks.
I should've mentioned my price range. I know they aren't cheap, but some are cheaper than others. I want one between $800-$1200, hopefully more near the $800-$900 range. Sorry, forgot to mention that!
Answer
3 mutually exclusive terms: cheap, gaming, laptop
Laptops have to be carefully engineered to use as little power as possible and generate as little heat as possible. Gaming requires intense CPU activity and even more GPU activity. Both require large amounts of electricity and generate a lot of heat.
Gaming laptops start at about $750 and go up quickly from there.

You might find some of the Asus V55 series around from last year that would do the trick.
