I'm looking to buy, against better judgement and reasoning, a gaming laptop. Yes, I said it. Back in 2009 I bought an ASUS Laptop, the one I'm currently using, for 800$. It's still running fine, playing Dota 2 at just about peak graphics as well as EVE Online and Guild Wars (with fps at around 40). I have definitely gotten my 800$ worth out of it seeing that 2-3 years is suppose to be the expiration date on these things. I have never upgraded any hardware parts, they are still all stock. I noticed the lack of discussion in OP regarding ASUS laptops and was curious as to a reason why? Are they poo poo computers (although mine has lasted a good while)? Also I poking at the idea of getting a new gaming laptop (I believe my portable battery has finally taken a crap after 4 years, and the cooling design on this laptop just isn't cutting it any more). What's the go-to laptop right now? EDIT: Would it be easier to update my graphics card or would this cause a colossal shitstorm with my ASUS inner-workings?

QuarkJets posted:^^^ Probably, yes It's running a GTX 220m graphics card, while I'm able to run games I'm definitely pushing the envelope. It's really just time for me to upgrade - is the IdeaPad Y410 a decent but? They have a 'save 480$' special going on right now and I'm really really close to pushing the button. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y410p/ It's the one for 769$. Supposedly from tech support they said upgraded the graphics card is quite possible as well in case I want to do that within the year.
