Budget Gaming Laptop with Dedicated Video Card (1gig) and atleast Intel i5 cpu

[zapplez]

Hey all,

I am trying to buy a new laptop that is capable of some medium processing difficulty gaming (e.g. Diablo 3, Arma 2, MW3) and am trying to find a good deal on a laptop that is 1 - atleast semi rugged (no HP hinge breaking) and 2- somewhat affordable.

My max spending is ~800 dollars. Here are some of the laptops I am considering,any suggestions would be appreciated. Preference is to a laptop I can buy in store at a retail location in GTA, as I dont want to wait for shipping from Lenovo EPP.

Acer and HP typically have better graphics than 540M under your price range....however, these two brands are regarded as less reliable than top rated Asus.
