HereForTheBeer: Been gaming on laptops exclusively for something like 10 years now. What I consider my baseline requirements:
- discrete GPU
- 17" screen at 1080 (or 1200) x 1920
- full keyboard with Number Pad
- 4x USB ports
If it doesn't have those then I look elsewhere. If it does, then other factors come into play.
I am taking careful notes, thank you :)! - discrete GPU

Cyraxpt: Just don't forget that you won't have sound coming out of it (well, at least some monitors) so you will have to connect a headphone to the monitor or the dualshock (if you decide to go that way).
The thing with laptops is that it won't have much power and it will overheat quicker so for 1000$ i would say that you can run most games at high but with some tweaks, a friend of mine bought a laptop for something like 1500€ so i'll ask him later how does the games that he have run.
A good point regarding sound. I would probably be using headphones most of the time anyway, but an important factor nevertheless.The thing with laptops is that it won't have much power and it will overheat quicker so for 1000$ i would say that you can run most games at high but with some tweaks, a friend of mine bought a laptop for something like 1500€ so i'll ask him later how does the games that he have run.
