Suggestion Gaming Laptop ~1500$ CAN

My old laptop is still working perfectly, but the casing is broken and the screen is about to completely tear off... It sucks cause I'm not able to finda another casing, cause I just wanted to put all the hardware into another casing since the computer is still working just fine...
anyhow, since I havent looked into laptop for over 1 year, i was wondering what were the tendencies nowadays... AMD? INtel? what bout mobile GPU? etc..
I was hoping to put around 1500$CAN i dont really like BIG screens or too small.. 15.4 is fine with me
id rather stick with winxp on a laptop too...
any suggestions? also, if you can tell me about what game i could play with what settings, id appreciate it!
