Well, I found this one at BestBuy

Not bad. Processor speed is a little slow, but the price tag mitigates that and most games will be GPU-bound.

The graphics are equivalent to a desktop 9800GT, maybe a little slower.

You should probably wait until the Arrandale refresh (32nm dual-cores). These will have 40nm graphics which support DX11, and be at least twice as fast as this for the same price and power budget due to being Evergreen or GT300 based rather than the outdated G80 core from 2006, albeit die shrunk.

When they release this? The problem is that i don't live in U.S. , and a friend of my uncle that lives there comes every year and bring lots of stuff, he comes near Xmas. I really want to have a gaming/HTPC laptop because it's personal, i really get angry with desktops, my brother always fill it with porn.

Um, March? But you seem need it badly so just buy one now.

Can I ask, what do you want of of your laptop? What games are you playing, how long do you want it to run off of battery? A 'gaming' laptop could be overkill if it's The Sims and WoW you're playing, and it wouldn't run more than 1-2 hours away from a wall plug.

If you aren't playing recent games, an ultraportable with slower CPU and graphics is an option - it will be much lighter, have longer battery life and is $550.

Well, i really don't pretend to play games CoD and stuff in the notebook, i play this with the 360/ps3. Actually, something that runs The Sims 3 and Diablo 3 is already enough for me, but i really wanted a better Notebook to use as media center.

I wouldn't bother buying one, just build a desktop.

rule #1, don't shop at best buy

rule #2, wait as long as you possibly can

rule #3, shop around

rule #4, don't be fooled by big name hardware

I myself bought an acer a year back for 800$ and it has a core 2 duo t5800, a 9600M GS, 4 GB and 64bit home premium vista. The things is a powerhouse, considering what I paid for it.

for example, check out this find on pricegrabber
http://computers.pricegrabber.com/laptop/m/724225773/details/st=product_tab/

it's a p8400, has the 9800GTS mobile, and is 17 inch screen. Plus it's only 869 if you buy it from the discount shop. 1000, if you buy it from tigerdirect

Don't buy a gaming laptop please. They all suck!

Not, true, there are some very good ones.
