First off, if this is in the wrong section please move it. Or educate me on where I should move it to. ;)

Basically I am looking for a gaming laptop. I guess you could say. I am looking for a laptop with a nice processor and a 1GB GDDR5 video card. Really that is all. I don't need it to be able to go to outer space or make me coffee.

Now, I think I know the number one question. "Well you want a good processor sure, AMD or Intel?" Now here is my answer to that. I would LOVE to get an i7 but I really don't think I can afford it. Which is maybe where you guys could come in. Or if nothing else I would settle for an AMD quad core of some sort. Anyway, what I need help with is finding a laptop that has the following, for a GREAT price of course...

Processor: Core i7 OR AMD Quad core of some sort
RAM: 4GB (6 is fine and 8 really for me is overkill)
Video: 1GB GDDR5 (post the name of the card so I can look up specs on it, blah blah blah)
Size: 15'' plus would be pretty sweet. Which a lot nowadays are. :)
Other: Keypad on the side would be wicked. Which usually comes with the larger laptops, like I want.

Now I am asking this question/favor because I had a laptop picked out. It was an HP that was originally $799 but I had a coupon that made it $599. Well the damn coupon expired so I am looking for a new deal. If you guys find one post it here please.

Price cap is like $650. I know that is low, but as stated I have found it before. Just need help finding it again. ALSO, if you have something of your own you are trying to sell that fits this category, post away.

Thanks guys!
