Good day,
This coming fall I will be attending University and my parents are putting $1000 towards a laptop. Naturally, it'll be running Windows, and I already have a disk for Windows 7 Ultimate so that won't be in the cost. However, I was curious as to what you guys would recommend for a decent computer? To be honest, I'm only looking for something that will run Diablo III and Starcraft II gaming-wise, so definitely not something state-of-the-art, such as for Crysis. If you guys have any recommendations, please let me know.
BTW - I do have a bit of money of my own that I will be able to throw on top, but I'd rather not put in more than $500 myself. So, price range is $1000-$1500, want to run a few of the new games, and if any other questions, I'll answer them promptly. I'll be buying it start of June.

I saw a pretty kick ass ASUS in Best Buy for 1000 bucks.

@Osaladin: Those look nice. It is a hard decision, and if they can play those games then Diablo 3 and SC2 would be no problem. Hell, my PC right now can barely run the first ME on minimum graphics.
 
I'll keep looking, but those are definitely the type of laptops I'm looking for.

One of these 2?
 
Asus G72x
Asus G60jx   I plan on buying one of these laptops, $1000 is my limit, and they both seem quite capable. I can't decide on which one to get though, I plan on playing Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, Bad Company 2,  and Borderlands. Sorry to kind of hijack this thread, but I was curious myself. "

" @Osaladin:    Core i5 Quad core > Core 2 Duo Dual Core  GTS 360M > GTS 260M4GB DDR3 > 6GB DDR2  2 hr battery life > 1 hr battery life With games, running above 720p on a laptop at high settings while trying to get a good framerate is almost impossible. The 1600x900 res on the G72 might be better for productivity though, I suppose that's up to you. But spec-for-spec the G60jx you listed is much better.  "

I just bought a Dell Studio 17 which has a touchscreen, a bluray RW drive, an Intel i7 processor and a great graphics card. I was able to play new games like Star Trek Online, Street Fighter IV and Borderlands on the highest settings. The touchscreen is also great for MMOs as you can just click on your action bar on the screen instead of using a mouse.
