Instead of being ultra thin and light, I wish you could get a nice inexpensive 15.6" laptop with a 1080p screen and an 860M or similar. For 2200 you could probably buy a desktop that destroys this laptop in gaming and then also a laptop or tablet for your on the go stuff that needs to get done.
 
Probably a MSI GS60 clone. A couple of the tech specs are off (says 2x mDP when the video on their site only says one, dimensions say 15.4" wide but you can't fit a keyboard + numpad in that space and leave as much room on the sides as in the pics), but the pics, styling, and features are a spot-on match.

Soon. Asus G551 is coming. Too bad the existing G550 isn't worth it due to DDR3 GTX 850M, that's not quite enough.

I agree but the premise of a gaming laptop isn't to outmuscle a gaming desktop. The formality of hauling a bulky desktop PC gaming rig, gaming monitor(s), peripherals, etc. to a LAN party is already a pain in the a$$ and gaming laptops alleviate this issue so less set up time = more gaming time.

The Lenovo Y50 has all that and is thin and light for under $1000.

And this is completely overpriced anyway. The CyberPowerPC laptop has the same CPU and GPU, is just lacking an extra 8GB DIMM of RAM ($70) and an mSATA SSD ($75) but costs $800 less. That's ridiculously overpriced. Hell, you can get a Sager with an 880m for $300 less. This is nonsense.
