I found this on Dell honestly not my prefered choice of brand but with a coupon code it made the final price of $699.. I want a decent gaming laptop that doesnt heat up too much any opinions?

well I have $650 to spend right now but could wait a couple weeks to come up with maybe $750-$800 max? I want to try the game Rift after the purchase sooo.. as long as it runs that! and i checked http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-525M.43889.0.html and it says the gt 525 handles most games at medium.. but you probably know more then me.. i don't need everything max'd out graphics arent everything to me it's the gameplay and would like to play some of latest games.. and i know $750-800 is very tight budget for a decent gaming laptop maybe i'm expecting too much.

others i found..

I have the GT 540M GPU in my XPS 15, it handles the latest games at 1366 X 768, 540M isn't much different from 525M.
The laptop will handle games but it won't handle them for quite long (on full setting) since the i5-2410M is a 2 core.
