Don't forget to think about what you need. I instead am opting for allocating that $1,200 to a desktop and getting a chromebook for my mobile use ( I am a huge google fanboy and it will be extremely helpful to me ). Besides, my laptop that I got 3 years ago was only $800. You don't necessarily need a 'gaming laptop' but need one with dedicated graphics of decent proportion. Mine is a i7-2670QM with a GT 540M. While it is still pathetically bad compared to desktop builds, it runs skyrim on medium, CS:GO on high, borderlands 2 on medium, minecraft is hellah-easy on it.
You don't need a top-of-the-line GPU to do this stuff and spend another $400 to do it. My laptop is still rocking it with pretty decent performance.
