Hi,

My current laptop is crapping out on me, so I'm in the market for a new computer. I'm not sure If I want a laptop, or a pc...

I want something that can run games well, but I also don't want to spend anymore then $1000 CAD.

I know I can build a good pc for around $800, but are there any laptops in this range that would work?

Here are a couple I've seen...

Sony Vaio 14'' - http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/sony-sony-vaio-e-series-14-laptop-gold-intel-core-i7-3632qm-1tb-hdd-16gb-ram-windows-8-sve14a37cdh/10238867.aspx?path=a1ebcb9ca94f5bc6e3b5ad7753e95bc4en02

Sony Vaio 15.5" - http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/sony-sony-vaio-15-5-laptop-silver-intel-core-i5-3210m-750gb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-8-sve15127cds/10224950.aspx?path=12b87c2ead1af9789811e27317a9251een02

Asus 15.6" - http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/asus-asus-15-6-laptop-brown-intel-core-i7-3630qm-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-8-r500a-fs71-cb/10238849.aspx?path=97cdf605b0fe57bd577a171d6f4a4057en02

I guess the biggest thing when looking at a laptop would be the GPU? I dont know a whole lot about current specs, so can someone give me a hand here?
