If you don't mind the small screen the Alienware M11x is a steal at 599. There are some promo's out there where you can kick it up to 8gb of ram and still have it under a thousand.
The base level m15x would start at 999.
For non-gaming specific laptops you may be able to play around with builds from Dell, HP, or Gateway that would play games. Usually the graphics cards are going to be underpowered though, and it will still max out your price range.
Some other gaming laptops would be the Toshiba Qoismo(sp?), Origin Laptops, or Cyber Power laptop. Most of those are going to be outside of your budget even from the standard setup.

Which is fair enough, I just think it's an unusual viewpoint.

I'm special. I effectively tank with a touch pad.

Ah, you're one of THOSE tanks. On behalf of WoW players everywhere, I hate you.

I don't key-turn!
Pretty sure that consistent touch pad use would give me carpal tunnel. *NM*

Sounds good. Keep in mind that buying a low-end laptop doesn't mean you can't game on the go.

Definitely worth mentioning, but there's always something better just a couple months down the road. *NM*
