I am the proud owner of a Sager NP8690.
I can say that gaming on a laptop is very nice indeed. I paid about $1500 and change for mine about 2 years ago.
I purchased mine from XoticPC. You should ask to speak to either Justin or Joseph.
Here is something to give you an idea:

I have had no issues with mine.... the one thing to keep in mind though is the battery life. When I first got mine, it was about 45 mins..... how with the new CPU and GPU, I get maybe 25 mins.
That's the other beauty about any Sager/Clevo, they are modular and you can pretty much upgrade them to whatever down the road... even to "unofficial" hardware.
I started with an i5 and 460M in mine... now it has a i7 920XM and a 6970M.
I would look at some of the options that XoticPC has on their site. They are based out of Nebraska. The system should last a good while.
The friend that got me hooked on mine has had his Sager going on 6 years and it plays games decently still.
If you inquire using my order number, 24013, they might give you a discount. Worth trying.

Support your local stores, yeah NewEgg is awesome but people put value in dealing with someone face to face and same day delivery.
