Need some help... Gaming laptop for under $800?

[orphicblue]

Trying to get a deal on a laptop... nothing fancy; my biggest demand is to run WoW at a decent framerate if at all possible. Reliability and lack of bloatware are also pluses.

My budget maxes out at a pretty firm $800 + tax... anyone care to recommend any particular models and/or brands?

Right now I've kind of got my eye on these two...

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Well the first one seems to have the reviews that state exactly what you want. I myself have an Alienware laptop which I would highly recommend but mine cost about $1,500 or a bit more about 1 1/2 years ago so that's a touch more than $800. I'm not sure what their bottom line laptop is right now but I'm sure it's either more than $800 or not able to do what you will want it to do.

I just got the first computer you linked to, the MSI GX630. I'm really liking it. The only problem is that the keyboard is a little squished in some areas, mainly the shift, /, . keys. This is a bit of a problem because I have pretty big hands. I'm slowly getting used to it, though.

I have one, and I can clearly say that there is no such thing as a gaming laptop. If you want to PC game, get a desktop....the laptops are a pain in the ass.

Eh, both of them have 9600's in them, which would turn me away from them (personal experience with the card, bought it for my desktop, and returned it. After about an hour of my computer idling, the card would stop functioning, and my monitor would display a "Signal Lost" message. This happens to a good amount of people with the card).
