Default [WTB] Decent Laptop with Good Graphics - $800

Hi,

I'm looking into buying a decent laptop that can run most games (not necessarily at high res) and a decent processor too (core 2 duo or turion).

I was looking at Dell Outlet, but I'm somewhat skeptical about the quality from that.

Does anyone have anything like that?

Dell outlet is just fine. a vostro 1500 or inspiron 1520 paired with the nvidia 8600gt should satisfy your gaming needs!
