Not the most portable...and the battery lasts about an hour playing...but I think mine is about as good as it gets for price.  $900, 1.6 ghz i7 (quad core, dual threaded easily makes up for sub 2.0 Ghz), 1 GB dedicated graphics card, "only" 4 GB of RAM though...but that could theoretically be upgraded.

Graphics memory amount bears no realtion to its performance. They sell $40 cards with 1GB now, doesn't make them not suck. What's the model name?

But, @OP, that is the kind of laptop I was talking about for performance over portability. I'm sure you'd want a higher-clocked dual instead of a lower-clocked quad however, for gaming. Games can't use 8 threads on a quad HT.
