Laptop suggestions?

[Rob]

I know there are some people here with real knowledge of computer hardware and stuff, so I'm just going throw this question out.

I'm looking to get a new laptop and I want one that can handle most of the latest games pretty decently. A desktop is absolutely not an option, in case someone was getting ready to say "dude just get a desktop."

I'm looking forward to Skyrim and Diablo III specifically. I don't need to be able to play these games at the absolute max settings, 99x anti-aliasing, but I want to play the latest stuff at relatively high settings.

My budget is about $1,500 (maybe up to $1,700, but not likely).

Thanks in advance!

Why Toshiba over other brands, such as ASUS, Sager, msi, etc?

I've always bought Dell but this is the first time I've really decided to be discerning on my purchase.

I've done the same thing and get made fun of regularly, but I've had next to zero problems with my Dell computers over the years. If it isn't broke, don't fix it!

Shop around and compare prices. Going with Dell = paying more just for the name.

I really want to avoid Dell. I've had 3 laptops from them and fairly significant problems with each one.
